[Removal of sessile recidive rectal polyp with endoscopic submucosal dissection. Case report and review of the literature].
With the development of flexible endoscopy, removal of the large sessile polyps and superficial malignant tumors that do not exceed the layer muscular mucosa has become today's major challenge. Earlier in various types of mucosectomy performed with such indication it was difficult to control the depth and the lateral margin of the resection surface. Tumors larger than 20 mm could only be removed with the application of the piecemeal technique.


METHODS
64-year-old female patient's large sessile polyp had been removed earlier with piecemeal technique followed by mucosectomy. On the area of these interventions a recidiv adenoma was found and for this reason endoscopic submucosal dissection was applied.


RESULTS
The procedure took 55 minutes, and only small volume of bleeding was detected during the intervention. The postoperative period was uneventful, one day later the patient left the hospital. Vertical and lateral resection surface were free of tumor histologically.


CONCLUSIONS
The endoscopic submucosal dissection is suitable for the removal of the large sessile polyp, which could not be successfully removed with earlier techniques.
