| [ Summary ] |
Surveillance colonoscopy should be conducted every two years until the onset of adenoma and every year after that. This should be done beginning in the early teens for classical FAP and late teens for attenuated FAP. When prophylactic colectomies must be planned, choosing IRA or IPAA while considering phenotype, genotype, age and desire for a child of FAP patients. Recent reports have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic IPAA for FAP treatment. |
