[Polyps of the large intestine in children].

Polyps in the large intestine is a frequent disease in children. It is more often observed in boys than in girls aged 4 to 9. In most cases solitary polyps are observed (in 73,35%). Two-three polyps are met in 21,62% of cases. Polyposis is a rare disease--0,91%. The main symptom of polyps in children is hemorrhage from the anal orifice. The method of treatment is dependent on the amount, size, height of the situs and spread of the polyps. Dissection of polyps through the rectal speculum is used more frequently, rectoromanoscope is used in rarer cases (electroexcision and coagulation). Resection of the large intestine or colotomy and ablation of polyps can be successfully used in polyposis and high situs of polyps.
