Prospective Evaluation of Combined Laparoscopy With CO2 Intraoperative Colonoscopy Treatment for Colorectal Lesions

Completed

Conditions studied: Colorectal Polyps

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate prospectively the usefulness of IC-CO2(intraoperative colonoscopy (IC) using carbon dioxide (CO2)) in colon and rectal surgical practice, coincident with laparoscopic surgery, and assess whether it provides useful information that influences the type of surgical therapy intended. Investigators will further define the safety and extent of bowel distension when using IC-CO2.
