The Pitfalls and Strategies of Endoscopic Localization in Laparoscopic Colectomy: A Case Report release_4zjgniyvp5ddzpvgnyfmibinue

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:bold>Background: </jats:bold>laparoscopic segmental colectomy is suitable for removing difficult polyps that are large, broad-based, or located in tortuous bowel segments. As we know, accurate segmental resection depends on precise localization. So far, intraoperative labeling of lesions by colonoscopy is increasingly performed for achieving appropriate resection margins, but a certain deviation is also found. There is no unified and standard endoscopic polyp localization method at present.<jats:bold>Case presentation: </jats:bold>A 63-year-old woman was admitted because she was diagnosed as a large and broad-based colonic polyp which was unsuitable for colonoscopic polypectomy. During endoscopy-assisted laparoscopic segmental colectomy, the irradiation angle of colonoscopy light on the polyp head was responsible for the localization errors. We proposed three-step measures of correct endoscopic polyp localization to ensure the accurate resection in laparoscopic segmental colectomy.<jats:bold>Conclusions: </jats:bold>Three-step measures of correct endoscopic polyp localization ensured the successful resection of colonic polyps in laparoscopic colectomy. Their advantages include simplicity, practicality and reliable localization.
