title: [The Nd: YAG laser in the treatment of colonic polyps].
abstract: The result of Nd: YAG laser therapy in 31 patients with pathologically verified rectosigmoid polyps was presented. Except one case with large adenomatous polyp recurring two months after the primary treatment, all other patients were cured clinically on their first therapy. There were no severe complications, and the longest follow-up period was 14 months. The authors came to the conclusion that compared with other modalities, Nd: YAG laser therapy is safe, effective, and low recurrence rate.
