RESUMO
La morbilidad y alteración de la calidad de vida asociadas a la resección anterior del recto y amputación abdominoperineal determinaron un gran interés en el desarrollo del abordaje transanal. En los últimos años se ha visto un marcado desarrollo tecnológico en los dispositivos disponible para este abordaje. La cirugía por vía transanal ofrece ventajas en cuanto a sus resultados y complicaciones cuando se la compara a la cirugía por vía abdominal. La cirugía transanal mini-invasiva surge como una alternativa de abordaje videoendoscópico del recto. La resección local por cirugía endoscópica para los pólipos grandes de recto se ha convertido en un nuevo estándar de tratamiento en la mayoría de los centros, obteniendo piezas no fragmentadas con una alta tasa de márgenes negativos. En el presente estudio realizamos una revisión sobre la aplicación de TAMIS (TransAnal Minimally Invasive Surgery) al tratamiento de los pólipos de recto. (AU)
A great interest has developed in implementing trans anal minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of rectal adenomas and early rectal tumors. It present advantages when compare to radical surgery and peace meal endoscopic resections. TAMIS delivers non-fragmented specimens with clear resection margin in the majority of the cases. Such good technical results are mirrored with a low recurrence rate when evaluating rectal adenomas. This is a review of the application of TAMIS for the treatment of rectal adenomas. (AU)

INTRODUCTION: Colorectal polyps are structures that project from the surface of the mucosal layer of the large intestine. They are classified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Early detection of pre-neoplastic lesions is important for preventing colorectal cancer. These can be resected so as to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates. Colonoscopy is the gold-standard procedure for diagnosing and resecting precursor lesions. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the epidemiological, endoscopic and histological aspects of endoscopic resection of lesions of the colon and rectum at a training center. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A search was conducted in the database of our institution covering the period from January 2011 to July 2014. Cases that underwent endoscopic resection of polyps and/or colorectal lesions were selection. The following variables were defined: general data on the patients (age, gender and indication from the examination) and data on the polypoid lesion (number, histological type and topographic distribution). RESULTS: 678 lesions were identified in 456 examinations. Regarding sex, 242 (53.1%) were female and 214 (46.9%) were male. The mean age was 64.54 years, with extremes of 5 and 94 years. The most frequent locations were the rectum (21%) and sigmoid (20%). Histologically, 34.7% were hyperplastic polyps and 58.9% were adenomatous polyps, of which 74.1% were tubular, 10.6% tubulovillous, 2% villous and 13% indeterminate; and 1.7% were adenocarcinomas. In 65.4% of the cases, the examination showed that only one polyps was present, while 34.6% had two or more lesions. CONCLUSION: In our clinic, with a mean of 250 examinations/month, the parameters evaluated were compatible with the results reported in the literature.

Introducción: Los pólipos colorrectales son estructuras que se proyectan en la superficie de la capa mucosa del intestino grueso. Son clasificados en neoplásicos y no neoplásicos. La detección precoz de lesiones preneoplásicas es relevante en la prevención del cáncer colorrectal. Pueden ser resecados y reducir los índices de morbimortalidad. La colonoscopia es el patrón de oro para el diagnóstico y resección de lesiones precursoras. Objetivo: Evaluar aspectos epidemiológicos, endoscópicos e histológicos relacionados a las resecciones endoscópicas de lesiones de colon y recto en un centro de entrenamiento. Matariales y métodos: Fue realizada una búsqueda en la base de datos de nuestra institución durante el período de enero de 2011 a julio de 2014. Se seleccionaron aquellos sometidos a las resecciones endoscópicas de pólipos y/o lesiones colorrectales. Las siguientes variables fueron definidas: datos generales de los pacientes (edad género e indicación del examen) y datos de la lesión polipoidea (número, tipo histológico, distribución topográfica). Resultados: Fueron identificadas 678 lesiones en 456 exámenes. Con relación al sexo, 242 (53,1 %) eran del género femenino y 214 (46,9 %) masculino. El promedio de edad fue de 64,54 años, con extremos de 5 y 94 años. La ubicación más frecuente fue en el recto (21 %) y sigmoide (20 %). Histológicamente, 34,7% eran pólipos hiperplásicos y 58,9% adenomatosos, siendo 74,1% tubulares, 10,6% tubulovellosos, 2% vellosos y 13% indeterminados y, 1,7% correspondieron a adenocarcinomas. En el 65,4% de los casos existía solamente un pólipo al hacer el examen, 34,6% presentaban dos o más lesiones. Conclusión: En nuestro trabajo, con un promedio de 250 exámenes/mes, los parámetros evaluados fueron compatibles a los resultados encontrados en la literatura.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence and associated demographical and clinical factors related to lower GI polyps and neoplasms in patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms. METHODS: We investigated 99 patients who had upper GI polyps and neoplasms and who were screened with colonoscopy: the following data were collected: demographical and clinical data consisting of age, sex, smoking status, presence of H. pylori infection, placement of upper GI polyps or neoplasms, presence of gastric atrophy, usage of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), presence of lower GI polyp or neoplasm, type of colon polyp, pathological grade of colon polyp. The patients were grouped according to having/not having lower GI polyps and neoplasms; data was compared between groups. RESULTS: Smoking rate was significantly higher in patients with lower GI polyps and neoplasms (χ2: 4.35, p: 0.03). Furthermore, there was a signifant association between presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms vs. smoking (OR: 2.44 CI: 1.01-5.84, p: 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms who are smokers should be considered as candidates for having lower GI polyps and neoplasms and should be screened and followed more carefully. Additionally, we believe that large sampled and prospective studies are needed to higligt the association between upper GI polyps and presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms.
OBJETIVO: investigar a incidência, demografia associada e fatores clínicos relativos a pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais em pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior. MÉTODOS: Foram investigados 99 pacientes que apresentaram pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais superiores selecionados através de colonoscopia: os seguintes dados foram coletados: dados demográficos e clínicos consistentes em idade, sexo, tabagismo, presença de infecção por H. pylori, a presença de pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais proximais, presença de atrofia gástrica, uso de inibidores da bomba de prótons (IBP), presença de pólipo ou neoplasia gastrointestinal distal, tipo de pólipo de cólon, grau patológico de pólipo de cólon. Os pacientes foram agrupados de acordo com ter/não ter pólipos ou neoplasias distais; os dados foram comparados entre os grupos. RESULTADOS: A taxa de tabagismo foi significativamente maior nos pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias distais (χ2: 4.35, p: 0,03). Além disso houve uma associação significante entre a presença de pólipos e neoplasias distais e tabagismo (OR: 2,44 CI: 1,01-5,84, p: 0,04). CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes fumantes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior devem ser considerados candidatos a pólipos e neoplasias distais e devem ser rastreados e seguidos com mais cuidado. Adicionalmente, grandes amostras e estudos prospectivos são necessários para esclarecer a associação entre pólipos gastrointestinais superiores e a presença de pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais.

UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND. Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be prevented. Colonoscopy is the first-line procedure for screening in average risk population. In 2002, Imperiale evaluated people between 40 to 49 years and reported that adenomas and advanced adenomas presented in 8.5% and 3.5% of cases, respectively. Currently, no recommendations for CRC screening in this population have been made. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence ofpolyps, adenomas, advanced lesions and adenocarcinomas in the 45- to 49-year-old population. METHODS: We included consecutive adults between 45 and 49 years old who performed colonoscopy because of gastrointestinal signs or symptoms. Exclusion criteria were high risk for CRC, incomplete VCC and/or previous evidence of colonic lesions. The study was conducted in a gastroenterology center from Buenos Aires, between September 2010 and October 2011. The design was prospective and cross-sectional. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) lavage solution or phosphates were usedfor cleansing. Colonoscopies were performed under sedation with Olympus equipment. The protocol was approved by the local IRB. 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. RESULTS: 814 patients were evaluated and 764 were included, 440 (57%) were women and the average age was 47 years. The global prevalence of polyps was 20% (160 cases, 95% CI 18%-24%). The global prevalence of adenomas was 14% (107 cases, 95% CI 11%-16%). The prevalence of advanced adenomas was 5% (39 cases, 95% CI 4%-7%) and the prevalence of adenocarcinoma was 0.1% (1 case, 95% CI 0%-0.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of lesions in this population is lower than that in the average risk population. At the moment we do understand that there is no evidence to recommend CRC screening in 45- to 49-year-old individuals.

El síndrome de Gardner, una variante de la poliposis adenomatosa familiar, es una enfermedad hereditaria autosómica dominante caracterizada por la presencia combinada de múltiples pólipos intestinales y manifestaciones extraintestinales que incluyen osteomas múltiples, tumores del tejido conectivo carcinoma de tiroides hipertrofia del epitelio pigmentado de la retina, también son frecuentes la presencia de dientes supernumerarios retenidos y odontomas. Se presenta un caso clínico de un paciente masculino, de 20 años de edad que acude a consulta por presentar aumento de volumen en tres localizaciones de la región facial. Radiográficamente se constataron las imágenes radiopacas características del osteoma y con la rectosigmoidescopia la presencia de pólipos intestinales. La intervención quirúrgica de los osteomas se realizó bajo anestesia general que incluyó condilectomía del lado izquierdo. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue de osteoma ebúrneo. Un año después del procedimiento se observó clínicamente recuperación estética y funcional y radiográficamente buena regeneración ósea en al ángulo mandibular donde se encontraba el osteoma de mayor diámetro. El paciente ha tenido hasta la actualidad una evolución muy satisfactoria, con excelente apertura bucal. El objetivo es describir el manejo que se tuvo con un paciente con síndrome de Gardner en el Servicio de Cirugía Maxilofacial de Artemisa(AU)
Gardner's syndrome, a variant of familial adenomatous polyposis, is a dominant autosomal inherited disease characterized by multiple intestinal polyps together with extra-intestinal manifestations including multiple osteomas, connective tissue tumors, thyroid carcinomas, hypertrophied pigmented epithelium of the retina, and also frequent retained supernumerary teeth and odontomas. The objective of this paper was to describe the management of a patient with Gardner's syndrome at the maxillofacial surgery service in the province of Artemisa. The clinical case of a male patient aged 20 years, who went to the maxillofacial service on account of increased volume of the facial area in three sites. The X-rays showed radiopaque images characteristic of osteomas whereas rectosigmoidoscopy revealed intestinal polyps. The osteomas were surgically removed under general anesthesia including condylectomy on the left side. The histological-pathological diagnosis was osteoid osteoma. One year after the surgical procedure, the clinical exam showed esthetic and functional recovery and the radiographies disclosed good bone regeneration in the mandibular angle where the biggest osteoma was found. The patient has recovered very satisfactorily, with excellent oral opening(AU)

Adenocarcinoma represents 96-98% of colorectal neoplasms, and neoplastic polyps (adenomas) are their precursors. The aim of this study is to correlate size, location and histologic type of colorectal polyps at the presence of dysplasia and adenocarcinoma. Methods: Colonoscopies from January/2007 to December/2008 were retrospectively studied, in order to evaluate the characteristics of the polyps. Results and Discussion: Out of the 2,401 analyzed colonoscopies, 583 (24.3%) presented polyps. Due to the lack of histopathologic data, 139 exams were excluded. Mean age of the patients was 58±12 years, and 60% were females. Polyps were prevalent in the left colon (38.5%) and rectum (32.5%). Out of the 850 polyps which were histologically examined, 55.17% were tubular adenomas; 21.88%, hyperplastic; 17.05%, serrated; 5.4%, tubulovillous; and 0.47%, villous. As to polyps ≤1.0 cm, dysplasia was observed in 16.0% and adenocarcinoma in 1.9%. Those >1.0 cm, 72.0% (p<0.001) presented dysplasia, and 25.3% (p<0.001) presented adenocarcinoma. Polyps in the right and transverse colon were strongly associated with dysplasia (17.8% and 16.7%). Adenocarcinomas were prevalent in the left colon (2.5%) and rectum (2.1%). Conclusion: Polyps were more frequent in the left colon and rectum. The right and transverse colons were strongly correlated with dysplasia. Those of the left colon and rectum were associated with adenocarcinoma. Lesions >1.0 cm were positively related to dysplasia and neoplasm. (AU)
O adenocarcinoma representa 96-98% do câncer colorretal, sendo os pólipos neoplásicos (adenomas) seus precursores. O objetivo desse estudo é correlacionar tamanho, localização e tipo histológico de pólipos colorretais com a presença de displasia e adenocarcinoma. Métodos: Estudou-se retrospectivamente colonoscopias realizadas entre janeiro/2007 e dezembro/2008, avaliando-se as características dos pólipos. Resultados e Discussão: Das 2401 colonoscopias analisadas, 583 (24,3%) apresentaram pólipos. Por falta de dados histopatológicos, excluiu-se 139 exames. A média de idade foi 58±12 anos, sendo 60% mulheres. Houve predomínio no cólon esquerdo (38,5%) e reto (32,5%). Quanto ao tamanho, 86,58% eram ≤1 cm. Dos 850 pólipos analisados histologicamente, 55,17% eram adenomas tubulares, 21,88% hiperplásicos, 17,05% serrilhados, 5,4% tubulovilosos e 0,47% vilosos. Dos pólipos ≤1,0 cm, 16,0% apresentaram displasia e 1,9% adenocarcinoma; dos >1,0 cm houve displasia em 72,0% (p<0,001) e adenocarcinoma em 25,3% (p<0,001). Pólipos do cólon direito e transverso associaram-se mais à displasia (17,8% e 16,7%, respectivamente). Adenocarcinoma predominou no cólon esquerdo (2,5%) e reto (2,1%). Conclusão: Os pólipos predominaram em cólon esquerdo e reto. Os do cólon direito e transverso correlacionam-se fortemente à displasia, e os do reto e cólon esquerdo ao adenocarcinoma. Lesões maiores que 1,0 cm associaram-se positivamente com a presença de displasia e neoplasia. (AU)

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was (a) to evaluate the association between cigarette smoking and the prevalence of distal colorectal polyps and adenocarcinoma and (b) to analyse genetic alterations representing different molecular pathways of the colorectal carcinogenesis. METHODS: A total of 623 asymptomatic male (mean age: 53 years; 50-65) car factory workers were included. Information on smoking habits and other lifestyle factors were collected followed by a 60 cm colonoscopy. APC and KRAS mutations and microsatellite status were determined in colorectal lesions (colorectal carcinoma (CRC), hyperplastic (HP) and adenomatous polyps (AP)). Data were analysed using unconditional multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS: Smokers had a higher prevalence of AP (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2-3.6; p<0.05) and HP (OR 5.4; 95% CI 2.6- 11.1; p<0.05). No differences in CRC were observed. There was a dose-response relationship with the number of cigarettes smoked. The risk of developing AP or HP decreased after smoking cessation, even among heavy smokers (≥20 packs/year). KRAS mutations were more prevalent among smokers AP (OR 5.6; 95% CI 1.6-20.4; p=0.007). There was a trend of positive association with APC mutations (OR 3.5; 95% CI 0.9-4.4; p=0.096). APC and KRAS mutations were found in 36% and 61% of the HP of smokers, but were absent in non-smokers (p=0.89 and 0.78, respectively). There were no differences in MSI between smokers and non-smokers. CONCLUSIONS: Cigarette smoking is associated with a higher risk of developing both HP and AP and a higher prevalence of mutations in APC and KRAS.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of colorectal polyps and adenomas in the general population of Mexico is unknown. AIM: To determine the prevalence and risk factors for colorectal polyps detected during flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG) in asymptomatic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 1995 to 2008, FSIG was performed as part of a complete check-up in patients who had lived in northeast Mexico for over 5 years. RESULTS: 946 (794 males/152 females) were included in the study. The mean age was 48.8 years (range 21-91). A family history of colorectal cancer (FHCRC) was present in 2.2 % of the cases. The adenoma prevalence found in patients with a BMI < 25, 26-30 or > 30 was 7.3%, 6.2% and 10.2% respectively. Independent risk factor for colorectal polyps and adenomas included a positive family history of colorectal cancer (OR 12.4, 95% CI 19.1-230, and OR 12.4, 95% CI 4.1-37.3, respectively) and a body mass index > 25 (OR 4.2, 95% CI 4.2-14.2 and OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.8-9.7, respectively). Seventy two patients had polyps (7.6%) and 29 patients had adenomas (3%). The prevalence of polyps and adenomas on FSIG in patients younger than 50 years was 5.8% and 1.9% respectively, and among those older than 50 years, it was 8.9% and 4.8% respectively. CONCLUSION: A positive family history of colorectal cancer and a body mass index > 25 are independent risk factors for colorectal polyps and adenomas. The adenoma prevalence found in our population was lower than the reported in developed countries.

BACKGROUND: Duodenal adenomas are extremely common in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. In the general population, sporadic duodenal adenomas are an uncommon finding. Among individuals with duodenal adenomas, the development of concurrent colonic adenomas has been proposed, suggesting a diffuse gastrointestinal mucosa proliferative process and thus surveillance with colonoscopy. METHODS: A total of 10,666 upper endoscopies were performed from January 1997 to July 2007. Four controls without duodenal adenomas were selected for each case. Association of duodenal polyposis with colonic adenomas was calculated using two sample proportions and chi square using SPSS. RESULTS: In the 10-year period, 21 patients met inclusion criteria. All the patients were male with a mean age of 67 years (range: 45-86 years). Among cases, the most common indication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) was an abnormal imaging (47.6%). For controls, the most common indication for EGD was gastrointestinal bleeding (29.8%). Most adenomas were located in the second portion of the duodenum (63%). Mean size for duodenal adenomas was 5mm (range 1-21mm). High grade dysplasia was reported in 4 (18%) adenomas. The prevalence of sporadic duodenal adenomas was 0.2%. Nine of 21(42.8%) duodenal adenoma cases were found with concurrent colonic adenomas. In the control group, 38 of 84 (45%) patients were found with colon adenomas (p = 0.21). There was no significant statistical association between duodenal polyposis and anemia, smoking, alcohol, medical history of diabetes mellitus or BMI. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of duodenal polyposis was low, although a high number of polyps exhibited high grade dysplasia. There was no statistically significant association between nonfamilial duodenal polyposis and colorectal adenomas. Our observations do not support early colonoscopy surveillance for patients with duodenal polyposis.
