Use of the Urologic Resectoscope in Rectal Pathology

Summary

We have resected five sessile polyps and treated rectal hemorrhage using the urologic resectoscope that operates in an aqueous solution. It is our belief that working in an aqueous environment can avoid some of the drawbacks of the standard technique in an air environment. We think that this is a useful technique in digestive endoscopy with precise indications and promising future developments.
