Abstract

Patients who present with benign but difficult colon polyps that are not amenable for endoscopic removals will typically undergo colon resection. Although the laparoscopic approach has improved short-term outcomes, morbidities associated with bowel resection are still significant. A combined approach using both laparoscopy and colonoscopy [combined endoscopic laparoscopic surgery (CELS)] is a safe and effective alternative to bowel resection and may result in significantly improved short-term outcomes and cost savings over colon resection.
