Colon polyps in children
AIM: to evaluate the results of bowel polyposis in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: the retrospective study included children, aged 1 to 17 years. The clinic manifestations, diagnostics and treatment approach are described. Patients with adenomatous polyposis (n = 38) and juvenile polyposis (n = 16) are presented in details. RESULTS: options for surgical procedure are described due to early and late results, morphological data and diagnostic findings (colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis and formation of seromuscular cylinder, n = 8; colproctectomy with ileal pouch, n = 10). CONCLUSIONS: the detection of colorectal polyps requires a wide range of diagnostic and treatment approaches depends on a clear understanding of the nosological form of polyposis, which allows to determine the optimal period and method of surgical treatment.
