Abstract

The article discusses the used of the technique for rectal adenoma called transanal endoscopic operation (TEO). It mentions that a TEO device was used on the patient in the lithotomy position during the operation. It adds that the TEO technique was already used in 11 patients since 2008, however, two patients developed recurrent adenoma and were successfully removed by colonoscopic polypectomy. Furthermore, it suggests TEO to patients with large mid or upper rectal polyps.
