OBJECTIVE: Make it possible to implement safe polypectomy of polyps of the large intestine with a diameter at the base greater than 1 cm located in the intestinal lumen above the peritoneal fold. METHOD: After laparoscopy under general anaesthesia endoscopic polypectomy is performed under laparoscopic control. The large intestine is sutured to the site of the base of the removed polyp using laparoscopic technique. RESULTS: Removal of large polyps of the large bowel with a base diameter greater than 1 cm without the need of laparotomy. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopically assisted polypectomy is a safe and effective method for the removal of large bowel polyps with a large base.
