Colonoscopic polypectomy results of our gastroenterology unit

Öz

Background/aims: A tissue mass derived from mucosa or submucosa and extending into the lumen of the bowel is referred to as a polyp. Removal of polyps detected during colonoscopy and establishment of the pathological diagnosis are recommended since cancer has become the leading lesion and due to the potential cancer risk regardless of polyp size. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of polyps and their histopathological results based on colonoscopies performed in our Unit. We aimed to reveal the polyp prevalence and histopathological results in our colonoscopy experience. Material and Methods: Colonoscopy reports between February 2005 and July 2010 were retrospectively reviewed from the endoscopy archive system in Uludag University, Endoscopy Unit, Department of Gastroenterology. Results: According to the colonoscopy reports, a total of 1379 polyps (22.06%) were detected in 894 patients; 914 of these polyps with attainable pathology results were analyzed. 530 of the patients (59.3%) were male and 364 (40.7%) were female. Of the polyps with neoplastic characteristics, 621 (68%) were tubular adenomas, 66 (7.2%) tubulovillous adenomas, and 5 (0.5%) villous adenomas. Conclusions: In this study, the prevalence of colon polyp types over an approximately six-year period was described in patients undergoing colonoscopy for various reasons in our Endoscopy Unit, which provides healthcare to an important part of the Eastern Marmara region. To determine the prevalence more clearly, especially for determination of prognosis in cases with dysplasia, additional wider and prospective studies are needed.

Gastroenteroloji ünitemizdeki kolonoskopik polipektomi sonuçlarımız

Öz

Giriş ve Amaç: Mukoza veya submukozadan köken alan ve barsak lümeni içine uzanan doku kütlesine polip denir. Kolonoskopi sırasında saptanan poliplerin boyutu ne olursa olsun kolorektal kanserin öncü lezyonu ya da potansiyel kanser riski nedeniyle çıkartılması ve patolojik tanısının konması önerilmektedir. Biz bu çalışmamızda bölümümüzde yapılan kolonoskopi sonuçlarında saptanan polip prevelansı ve bu poliplerin histopatoloji sonuçlarını ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Uludağ Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Gastroenteroloji Bilim Dalı Endoskopi Ünitesi'nde fiubat-2005 ile Temmuz-2010 arasındaki kolonoskopi raporları endoskopi arşiv sisteminden retrospektif olarak tarandı. Bulgular: Kolonoskopi raporlarına göre 894 hastada toplam 1379 adet polip (%22,06) tespit edildi. Bu poliplerden patoloji sonucuna ulaşılabilen 914 tanesi incelemeye alındı. Hastaların 530'u erkek (%59,3), 364'ü kadın (%40,7) idi. Neoplastik özellikte olan poliplerin 621 tanesi (%68) tubuler adenom, 66 tanesi (%7,2) tubulovillöz adenom, 5 tanesi de (%0,5) villöz adenom olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada Doğu Marmara Bölgemizin önemli bir kesimine hizmet veren Endoskopi ünitemizde yaklaşık 6 sene boyunca çeşitli nedenlerle kolonoskopi yapılan hastalarımızdaki kolon polip tiplerinin prevelansı ortaya konmuştur. Prevelansın daha net belirlenmesi, özellikle displazi saptanan olgulardaki prognozun ortaya konması için daha geniş çapta ve prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
