Abstract

Aim: Colonoscopic polypectomy is the most effective visceral cancer prevention tool in clinical medicine. Studies observed a 76-90% reduction in colorectal cancer incidence following colonoscopic polypectomy. We herein present a case series who underwent polypectomy by lower gastrointestinal system (GIS) endoscopy.
Methods: The study population consisted of 7503 lower GIS endoscopy (colonoscopy or rectosigmoidoscopy) procedures performed in the Department of General Surgery between 2009 - 2019 for screening, diagnostic and follow-up purposes. 612 (8.2%) of the patients who underwent polypectomy were evaluated. The patients’ demographic data, clinical status, histopathology reports and follow-up findings were recorded.
Results: During the study period, 612 patients (38 patients, twice and 3 patients, thrice) underwent polypectomy with lower GIS endoscopy. 386 of the patients were male and 226 were female. The mean age of the patients was 57.3 (13.7) (range 24-89) years. A total of 813 polypectomies were performed, and 118 procedures included two or more polypectomies. The most common sites of polypectomies were rectum (n=233, 29.5%), sigmoid colon (n=208, 25.3%) and the descending colon (n=107, 13%). Histopathological examination revealed 25 adenocarcinomas (4.1%), 98 high grade dysplasias (16%) and 269 low grade dysplasias (44%). In terms of histopathological results, there were no significant differences between genders (p=0.098), however, younger patients (mean age: 51.7 years (14.7)) were more likely to have benign results and malignity was more often encountered in older patients (p<0.001). The mean ages of patients with adenocarcinoma and high-grade dysplasia were 61.2 (12.1) and 63.6 (11.1) years, respectively. Necessary treatments and follow-ups were performed for the related pathologies.
Conclusion: We observed that 8.2% of the patients undergoing lower GIS endoscopy had polyps and 20.1% of these polyps needed additional treatment, and 44% needed follow-up colonoscopy control. It should be noted that patients with various lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms may have malign polyps, potentially curable by polypectomy.

Alt gastrointestinal sistem endoskopik polipektomi: Ardışık 7503 endoskopik işlem ile kesitsel çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Kolonoskopik polipektomi klinik tıpta en etkili visseral kanser önleme aracıdır. Çalışmalarda kolonoskopik polipektomiyi takiben kolorektal kanser insidansında %76–90 bir azalma sağlandığı rapor edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada alt gastrointestinal sistem (GİS) endoskopi ile polipektomi uygulanan olgu serisini sunmak amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntemler: Çalışma evrenini genel cerrahi servisinde 2009-2019 yılları arasında tarama, tanısal ve takip amaçlı uygulanan 7503 alt GİS endoskopi (kolonoskopi veya rektosigmoidoskopi) işlemi oluşturdu. İncelemede polip tespit edilen ve polipektomi işlemi gerçekleştirilen 611 (%8,2) endoskopi işlemi değerlendirildi. Hastalar demografik veriler, klinik durum, histopatoloji raporları ve takipler açısından kayıt edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışma döneminde alt GİS endoskopi ile polipektomi işlemi 557 hastaya (38 hastada iki kez, 6 hastada üç kez olmak üzere) 611 işlem yapıldı. Hastaların 386’sı erkek, 226’sı kadın idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 57,3 (13,7) (aralık 24-89) idi. Tek endoskopi işleminde gerçekleştirilen biyopsi sayıları değerlendirildiğinde; 118 işlemde iki veya daha fazla olmak üzere toplam 813 polipektomi yapıldı. Polipektomi lokalizayonları değerlendirildiğinde; en sık rektum 233 (%29,5), sigmoid kolon 208 (%25,3) ve inen kolon 107 (%13) olduğu görüldü. Histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde; 25 (%4,1) adenokarsinom, 98 (%16) high grade displazi, 269 (%44) low grade displazi tespit edildi. Patolojiler arasında cinsiyet açısından fark tespit edilmedi ancak yaş açısından fark tespit edildi (sırasıyla p=0,098 ve p<0,001). Malign hastaların ileri yaşta (adenokanser (61,2(12,1)) ve high grade displazi (63,6(11,1))) ve benign hastaların daha genç yaşta (51,7(14,7)) olduğu görüldü. İlgili malign patolojiler için gerekli tedavi ve takipler gerçekleştirildi.
Sonuç: Alt GİS endoskopi yapılan hastaların %8,2’sinde polip görüldüğü ve bu poliplerin %20,1’inde ek tedavilere ve %44’ünde kontrol endoskopik takiplere gerek duyabileceği görülmektedir.
