The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the role of laparoscopic surgery in all patients presenting with colonic polyps. From April 1994 to April 1996, 16 consecutive patients were treated. The laparoscopy starts the procedure, then a colonoscopy easily and rapidly locates the colonic lesion. Under laparoscopic supervision a new snare polypectomy is often possible. If polypectomy remains impossible, a mini-laparotomy is performed above the polyp and allows polypectomy by extra-peritoneal colotomy. In one case, the polyp was not found on colonoscopy. Colonoscopic polypectomy was possible in 6 cases (40%), and 9 mini-laparotomies were necessary (60%). No colectomy was performed. The final histologic result showed two Dukes A carcinomas justifying secondary wide colectomy. Laparoscopy-assisted polypectomy is a safe and efficient procedure, allows complete excision of polyps and may avoid a colonic resection.
