Endoscopic Mucosectomy: A Novel Technique for Management of Polypoidal Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome.

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an uncommon disorder often challenging to treat. Surgical treatment is associated with suboptimal outcomes and postoperative complications. Argon plasma coagulation helps control rectal bleeding and healing of ulcers, but more extended follow-up data are not available. The macroscopic appearance of SRUS can be polypoid in 17%-25% of cases. Here, we describe a novel endoscopic technique for treating symptomatic patients with polypoidal variant of SRUS after failed medical and endoscopic argon plasma coagulation treatments.
