Abstract

Adenomatous polyps in the colorectal region are prevalent. On account of its rarity and effective excision using Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) with assistance from a Covidien Small Incision Laparoscopic System (SILS) Port, we present this case of an adenomatous polyp wherein the patient complaints of per rectal bleed. Most frequently asymptomatic, adenomatous polyps are the most prevalent. In the present case, five to six polyps were found in the rectosigmoid area during colonoscopy. Rectal bleeding, stomach pain, and changes in bowel function that have a high malignant potential are the most typical symptoms associated with polyps. Large rectal adenomas should only be treated with TEM at this time, and traditional Trans Endoscopic (EMR/ESD) should be stopped. Despite the availability of newer procedures like endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), TEM is still the method of choice. TEM is not recorded in our country up till now. This is the first time it is performed in our country.
