Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current literature describes a variety of techniques detailed under the name of combined endoscopic-laparoscopic surgery (CELS) procedures. This systematic review of literature assessed the outcomes of colonoscopic-assisted laparoscopic-wedge resection (CAL-WR) in particular to evaluate its feasibility to remove colonic lesions that do not qualify for endoscopic resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane) were searched for studies evaluating CAL-WR for the treatment of colonic lesions. Studies with missing full text, language other than English, systematic reviews, and studies with fewer than ten patients were excluded. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Out of 68 results, duplicate studies (n = 27) as well as studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria (n = 32) were removed. Nine studies were included, encompassing 326 patients who underwent a CAL-WR of the colon. The technical success rate varied from 93 to 100%, with an R0 resection rate of 91-100%. Morbidity ranged from 6% to 20%. The quality of the included studies was rated as low to moderate and contained heterogeneous terminology, methodology, and outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS There is insufficient high-quality data and substantial variation in outcome measures to draw firm conclusions regarding the value of CAL-WR. Although CAL-WR is a promising local resection technique for endoscopically unremovable neoplasms of the colon, further investigation of this technique in well-designed prospective, multicenter studies with predefined outcome measures is required.Trial registration: A protocol for this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO with the number CRD42023407966.

Abstract
Colorectal polyps, frequently adenomas, are common in older adults, with villous adenomas being a notable subset due to their potential for significant malignancy risk. This case report highlights a rare instance of a giant villous adenoma in a 79-year-old female patient, challenging in both diagnosis and treatment. The patient, with a history of untreated essential arterial hypertension, was hospitalized for severe anemia following a massive rectal hemorrhage. An irreducible, prolapsed rectal mass was evident upon examination, and further investigations, including rectoscopy and abdominopelvic computed tomography scan, confirmed a villous adenoma with severe dysplasia. Given the tumor's substantial size, circumferential nature, and proximity to the dentate line, an abdominoperineal resection using the Miles technique was performed. The histopathological examination post-surgery confirmed the presence of a villous adenoma with high-grade epithelial neoplasia and localized areas of well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. This case underscores the diagnostic and management complexities of large villous adenomas, emphasizing the need for meticulous surgical decision-making to ensure oncological safety and patient welfare, particularly when conservative resection may be inadequate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined endoscopic robotic surgery is a surgical technique that modifies traditional endoscopic laparoscopic surgery with robotic assistance to aid in the removal of complex colonic polyps. This technique has been described in the literature but lacks patient follow-up data. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the safety and outcomes of combined endoscopic robotic surgery. DESIGN A retrospective review of a prospective database. SETTING East Jefferson General Hospital, Metairie, Louisiana. PATIENTS Ninety-three consecutive patients who underwent combined endoscopic robotic surgery from March 2018 to October 2021 were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Operative time, intraoperative complication, 30-day postoperative complication, hospital length of stay, and follow-up pathology report results were the main outcome measures. RESULTS Combined endoscopic robotic surgery was completed in 88 of 93 participants (95%). Among the 88 participants who completed combined endoscopic robotic surgery, the average age was 66 years (SD = 10), BMI was 28.8 kg/m 2 (SD = 6), and history of previous abdominal surgeries was 1 (SD = 1). Median operative time was 72 minutes (range, 31-184 minutes) and polyp size was 40 mm (range, 5-180 mm). The most common polyp locations were the cecum, ascending colon, and transverse colon (31%, 28%, 25%). Pathology mainly demonstrated tubular adenoma (76%). Data on 40 patients who underwent follow-up colonoscopy were available. The average follow-up time was 7 months (range, 3-22 months). One patient (2.5%) had polyp recurrence at the resection site. LIMITATIONS Limitations for our study include a lack of randomization and follow-up rate to assess for recurrence. The low compliance rate may be due to procedure cancelations/difficulty scheduling because of changing coronavirus disease 2019 guidelines. CONCLUSIONS Compared to literature-reported statistics for its laparoscopic counterpart, combined endoscopic robotic surgery was associated with decreased operation times and resection site polyp recurrence.

Entre los 88 participantes que completaron la cirugía robótica endoscópica combinada, la edad promedio fue de 66 años (desviación estándar = 10), índice de masa corporal de 28,8 (desviación estándar = 6) y el historial de cirugías abdominales previas de 1 (desviación estándar = 1). La mediana del tiempo operatorio y el tamaño de los pólipos fueron 72 minutos (rango 31-184 minutos) y 40 milímetros (rango 5-180 milímetros), respectivamente. Las ubicaciones de pólipos más comunes fueron el ciego, colon ascendente y transverso (31%, 28%, 25%). La patología demostró principalmente adenoma tubular (76%). Los datos de 40 pacientes sometidos a una colonoscopia de seguimiento estaban disponibles. El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de 7 meses (rango 3-22 meses). Un paciente (2,5%) presentó recurrencia polipoidea en el sitio de resección.LIMITACIONES:Las limitaciones de nuestro estudio incluyeron la falta de aleatorización y la tasa de seguimiento para evaluar la recurrencia. La baja tasa de seguimiento puede deberse a la renuencia del paciente en hacerse una colonoscopia o cancelaciones de procedimientos por la dificultad para programar debido a cambios de COVID-19.CONCLUSIÓN:En comparación con las estadísticas reportadas en la literatura para su contraparte laparoscópica, la cirugía robótica endoscópica combinada se asoció con reducción en tiempos de operación y recurrencia de pólipos en el sitio de resección.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the clinical features of intestinal polyps and the risk factors for secondary intussusception in children. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for the medical data of 2 669 children with intestinal polyps. According to the presence or absence of secondary intussusception, they were divided into two groups: intussusception (n=346) and non-intussusception (n=2 323). Related medical data were compared between the two groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for secondary intussusception. RESULTS Among the children with intestinal polyps, 62.42% were preschool children, and the male/female ratio was 2.08∶1; 92.66% had hematochezia as disease onset, and 94.34% had left colonic polyps and rectal polyps. There were 346 cases of secondary intussusception, with an incidence rate of 12.96% (346/2 669). Large polyps (OR=1.644, P<0.001), multiple polyps (≥2) (OR=6.034, P<0.001), and lobulated polyps (OR=93.801, P<0.001) were the risk factors for secondary intussusception. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal polyps in children often occur in preschool age, mostly in boys, and most of the children have hematochezia as disease onset, with the predilection sites of the left colon and the rectum. Larger polyps, multiple polyps, and lobulated polyps may increase the risk of secondary intussusception, and endoscopic intervention is needed as early as possible to improve prognosis.

Abstract
Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps and sessile serrated lesions. Screening colonoscopy and therapeutic polypectomy can potentially reduce colorectal cancer burden by early detection and removal of these polyps, thus decreasing colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Most endoscopists are skilled in detecting and removing the vast majority of polyps endoscopically during a routine colonoscopy. Polyps can be considered “complex” based on size, location, morphology, underlying scar tissue, which are not amenable to removal by conventional endoscopic polypectomy techniques. They are technically more challenging to resect and carry an increased risk of complications. Most of these polyps were used to be managed by surgical intervention in the past. Rapid advancement in endoscopic resection techniques has led to a decreasing role of surgery in managing these complex polyps. These endoscopic resection techniques do require an expert in the field and advanced equipment to perform the procedure. In this review, we discuss various advanced endoscopic techniques for the management of complex polyps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Data on colorectal EMR (C-EMR) training are lacking. We aimed to evaluate C-EMR training among advanced endoscopy fellows (AEFs) by using a standardized assessment tool (STAT). METHODS This multicenter prospective study used a STAT to grade AEF training in C-EMR during their 12-month fellowship. Cumulative sum analysis was used to establish learning curves and competence for cognitive and technical components of C-EMR and overall performance. Sensitivity analysis was performed by varying failure rates. AEFs completed a self-assessment questionnaire to assess their comfort level with performing C-EMR at the completion of their fellowship. RESULTS Six AEFs (189 C-EMRs; mean per AEF, 31.5 ± 18.5) were included. Mean polyp size was 24.3 ± 12.6 mm, and mean procedure time was 22.6 ± 16.1 minutes. Learning curve analyses revealed that less than 50% of AEFs achieved competence for key cognitive and technical C-EMR endpoints. All 6 AEFs reported feeling comfortable performing C-EMR independently at the end of their training, although only 2 of them achieved competence in their overall performance. The minimum threshold to achieve competence in these 2 AEFs was 25 C-EMRs. CONCLUSIONS A relatively low proportion of AEFs achieved competence on key cognitive and technical aspects of C-EMR during their 12-month fellowship. The relatively low number of C-EMRs performed by AEFs may be insufficient to achieve competence, in spite of their self-reported readiness for independent practice. These pilot data serve as an initial framework for competence threshold, and suggest the need for validated tools for formal C-EMR training assessment.

Abstract
Background and aims Rectal lesions traditionally represent the first lesions approached during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training in the West. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of rectal ESD in North America. Methods This is a multicenter retrospective analysis of rectal ESD between January 2010 and September 2018 in 15 centers. End points included: rates of en bloc resection, R0 resection, adverse events, comparison of pre- and post-ESD histology, and factors associated with failed resection. Results In total, 171 patients (median age 63 years; 56 % men) underwent rectal ESD (median size 43 mm). En bloc resection was achieved in 141 cases (82.5 %; 95 %CI 76.8-88.2), including 24 of 27 (88.9 %) with prior failed endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). R0 resection rate was 74.9 % (95 %CI 68.4-81.4). Post-ESD bleeding and perforation occurred in 4 (2.3 %) and 7 (4.1 %), respectively. Covert submucosal invasive cancer (SMIC) was identified in 8.6 % of post-ESD specimens. There was one case (1/120; 0.8 %) of recurrence at a median follow-up of 31 weeks; IQR: 19-76 weeks). Older age and higher body mass index (BMI) were predictors of failed R0 resection, whereas submucosal fibrosis was associated with a higher likelihood of both failed en bloc and R0 resection. Conclusion Rectal ESD in North America is safe and is associated with high en bloc and R0 resection rates. The presence of submucosal fibrosis was the main predictor of failed en bloc and R0 resection. ESD can be considered for select rectal lesions, and serves not only to establish a definitive tissue diagnosis but also to provide curative resection for lesions with covert advanced disease.

Colorectal polyp risk is linked to an elevated level of homocysteine. Biosci Rep 2018; 38:BSR20171699.

Abstract
Several studies have reported an association between levels of folate, homocysteine, and vitamin B12 and the risk of colorectal polyps. Here, our aim is to examine the possible effect of folate, homocysteine, and vitamin B12 levels on the risk of colorectal polyps by means of meta-analysis based quantitative synthesis. According to our inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 13 case–control studies were enrolled. The P-value of the association test, standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Pooled analysis data showed a negative correlation between the risk of colorectal polyps and the levels of serum folate, red blood cell (RBC) folate, or vitamin B12 (all P>0.05). Nevertheless, for homocysteine level, we also observed a statistically significant difference between cases and controls in the overall and subgroup analysis of hospital-based control (HB), population-based control (PB), Chinese, Caucasian, or Asian (all P<0.05, SMD > 0). We found that increased levels of homocysteine may be statistically and significantly related to the risk of colorectal polyps.

PUPRPOSE Benign polyps that are technically challenging and unsafe to remove via polypectomy are known as complex polyps. Concerns regarding safety and completeness of resection dictate they undergo advanced endoscopic techniques, such as endoscopic mucosal resection or surgery. We provide a comprehensive overview of complex polyps and current treatment options. METHODS A review of the English literature was conducted to identifyarticles describing the management of complex polyps of the colon and rectum. RESULTS Endoscopic mucosal resection is the standard of care for the majority of complex polyps. Only polyps that fail endoscopic mucosal resection or are highly suspicious of invasive cancer but which cannot be removed endoscopically warrant surgery. CONCLUSION Several factors influence the treatment of a complex polyp; therefore, there cannot be a "one-size-fitsall" approach. Treatment should be tailored to the lesion's characteristics, the risk of adverse events, and the resources available to the treating physician.
