Abstract

In a patient with severe fecal incontinence, polypectomy of rectal adenomas may be difficult if the patient cannot retain gas in the rectum. Existing literature does not include reports of the optimal polypectomy technique in these patients. We describe a challenging case of difficult polypectomy in the nondistensible rectum from severe fecal incontinence (Video 1, available online at www.giejournal.org).
