≥2 episodes of recurrent CDI and
failure of appropriate antibiotic
therapy (includes either oral
vancomycin taper or daxomicin)
and other complications that may
be a contraindication to
colonoscopy (e.g. perforation,
megacolon). Caution is advised
for patients who have
immunosuppression or other
comorbid conditions and patients
who will require continued broad
spectrum antibiotics
Prior to undergoing FMT, patients
undergo a 2-day bowel
preparation and any antibiotics
are stopped 2days before the

to treat C. difcile)

Following FMT, no additional C.

administered, also avoid any
antimicrobials for as long as
possible going forward (ideally at
least a year)
See Algorithm inFig. 58.3
A. Abdominal ndings that are most concerning
include signs of intra-abdominal catastrophe
such as peritoneal ‘signs’: rebound tenderness, guarding and abdominal wall rigidity.
Another signicant nding is signicant
abdominal distention that may contribute to
respiratory embarrassment and distress.
B. Respiratory distress could progress to respi-
ratory failure and the need for mechanical
ventilation and is a risk factor for in-hospital
mortality.
C. Mental confusion and disorientation may be
attributable to several factors including systemic sepsis and respiratory embarrassment
leading to oxygen desaturation.
D. Altered vital signs across the board typically
include: elevated temperature, oxygen desaturation, sinus tachycardia and hypotension.
Signicant hypotension requiring vasopressor agents is another risk factor for in- hospital
mortality.
E. Low urine output may be attributed to: hypo-
tension, low intra-vascular volume (dehydration) and abdominal compartment
syndrome.
F. Marked leukocytosis in the 30–50,000 WBC
range with signicant bandemia often precedes the onset of hypotension and organ dysfunction. A retrospective review of 130 cases
from Canada noted that patients with leukocytosis greater than or equal to 50,000 or lactate greater than or equal to 5.0mol/l had a
30-day mortality rate of 75%. At the other end
of the spectrum, systemic sepsis may also
manifest as a markedly depressed
WBC< 1,500. Systemic sepsis may lead to
disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
with active brinolysis, consumption of coagulation factors and functional impairment of
platelets resulting in a hypocoagulable state
making hemostasis difcult to achieve if an
operation becomes necessary. An increase in
creatinine level precedes the development of
renal insufciency and perhaps renal failure.
A combination of hypovolemia, hypotension
and mechanical ventilation all contribute to
acidosis which may manifest as a decreased
pH and increased pCO
on ABGs, decreased
2
serum CO2 and increased serum lactic acid.
G. Bedside imaging is best for unstable ICU
patients. Plain lms may reveal colon dilation or free air if the colon has perforated. CT
scans are the most sensitive indicator of CDI,
but the use of IV contrast should be carefully
considered because of underlying renal compromise from ongoing sepsis and the
potential for renal insufciency. When
obtained, CT ndings may include a thick
colon wall, pericolic stranding and free exudative uid (often mistakenly referred to as
‘ascites’). CT scans predicted OR ndings in

94% of cases. In one retrospective series of
21 patients, CT ndings were consistent with
pancolitis 66% of the time, right-side only
colitis in 19% and left side only colitis in
15% of patients. Rectal sparing occurs in up
to 60–70% of patients.
H. A retrospective study at a single institution
revealed that admission to a colorectal or general surgery service was independently associated with a statistically signicant decrease of
in-hospital mortality. If not already involved,
surgical consultation is best requested early in
the downward spiral of CDI, but the reality is
that surgeons are often not involved until the
late stages when an operation becomes necessary. A colorectal or general surgeon should
be consulted immediately when any patient
with CDI is transferred to the ICU.
I. Given the presence of the above ominous
ndings, ICU admission is mandated.
J. Intravenous uid resuscitation is important
to maintain renal function and for hemodynamic support. Intravenous vasopressor
support is often required to maintain hemodynamic stability.
K. Mechanical ventilator support often becomes
necessary as respiratory embarrassment from
acute abdominal distension progresses to
respiratory failure.
L. Broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics are
appropriate as emergency surgery becomes
necessary and concern for gut bacterial
translocation in severe colitis or perforation.
M. The indications for emergent operation
include: peritonitis, megacolon, refractory
sepsis, progressive organ dysfunction and,
rarely, perforation. Patients with malignancy,
immunosuppression, renal insufciency or
patients on antiperistaltic agents are at
increased risk for requiring surgical intervention. When the decision for emergency subtotal colectomy and end ileostomy becomes
inevitable, a surgical checklist prepares the
patient and is helpful to the surgeon
(Table 58.7). Fulminant CDI carries a high
postoperative mortality rate in the range of
32–100%. In a retrospective study of 14
patients, those patients with multiple organ
failure had a mortality rate of 67% vs. 13.5%
for patients without multiple organ failure.
Total abdominal colectomy or subtotal colectomy has been labeled the ‘operation of
choice’ or the gold standard of operations.
Often, patients in septic shock will have a
dramatic and perhaps even immediate normalization of their vital signs as the specimen is nally physically removed and handed
off the OR table. The appearance of the colon

may be deceptively benign with full thickness ischemia rare and occurring very late in
the course of the disease. If there are physical
signs of colon ischemia or advanced CDI
(either on gross examination in the OR or on
endoscopic examination), it is typically more
pronounced in the proximal colon with gradual physical improvement in a proximal-todistal direction. In the OR, as the colon
resection progresses in a proximal-to-distal
direction, the end point of colectomy may be
tailored to the rectosigmoid/distal sigmoid
colon to remove conuent disease while perhaps leaving a viable distal sigmoid either as
a mucous stula or more simply a stapled
Hartmann’s pouch (subtotal colectomy).
Therefore, if the patient should survive surgery and become a candidate for reestablishment of intestinal continuity, the
functional result of an ileal-distal sigmoid
anastomosis may theoretically be an improvement over the function of an ileorectal anastomosis. In general, the literature regarding
non-resection operations for severe CDI,
including ileostomy and cecostomy, reveals
that patients have “fared poorly”.

Colonic Conditions: Benign Colonic Neoplasia
TarynE.Hassinger andCharlesM.Friel
59
Refer toAlgorithm inFig. 59.1
A. Benign colonic neoplasia can be divided into
two primary categories, adenomatous polyps
and serrated polyps. Adenomatous polyps
comprise approximately two-thirds of all
colonic polyps, making them the most common of the neoplastic polyps. They are categorized by their gross appearance into
sessile, pedunculated, at, or depressed
lesions. Histologically, these lesions are further identied as tubular, villous, or tubulovillous adenomas. Serrated polyps are the
second most common subtype of benign
colonic neoplasia. This group includes a heterogeneous group of lesions including
hyperplastic polyps, traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), and sessile serrated polyps/
adenomas (SSA/P). Other less common
types of benign colonic neoplasia include
hamartomatous polyps.
B. Regardless of the type of neoplastic lesion,
they are most often discovered incidentally
on screening endoscopy, thus typically in
patients over 50years of age. Small lesions
are unlikely to cause bleeding, but larger
more advanced polyps can cause chronic,
slow bleeding and thus result in positive fecal

occult blood testing and anemia. Less commonly, a large lesion can cause obstructive
symptoms, a presentation more often seen
with adenomatous polyps.
C. Once a polyp is discovered, a complete colo-
noscopy should be performed to inspect for
synchronous polyps and/or cancers if the
original endoscopic procedure did not completely clear the colon.
D. Adenomatous polyps are the most common
type of benign colonic neoplasia. They are
more common in men, and risk factors also
include older age and obesity. These lesions
are grossly categorized as sessile, pedunculated, at, or depressed. Sessile polyps have
their bases attached to the colon wall, and
pedunculated lesions have a mucosal stalk
connecting the polyp to the colon wall. Flat
polyps have a height less than half the lesion’s
diameter, and depressed polyps have an excavated appearance. Histologically, adenomas
are further categorized by their glandular
architecture. Tubular adenomas are the most
predominant, representing over 80% of
colonic adenomas. They are composed of a
network of branching epithelium. An adenoma’s structure must be at least 75% tubular in
order to be classied as a tubular adenoma.
Villous adenomas comprise 5–15% of adenomas and contain long, straight glands from
the surface epithelium to the center of the
polyp. To be considered a villous polyp, the

lesion must contain at least 75% villous components. Finally, tubulovillous adenomas
account for 5–15% of colonic adenomas. To
be classied as tubulovillous, an adenoma
must contain 26–75% villous components. In
all adenomas, the area of proliferation is
mainly located in the upper part of the crypt.
Adenomatous polyps are dysplastic
lesions, and they are described as having
high-grade or low-grade dysplasia. The
degree of dysplasia impacts the risk of
colorectal cancer progression, with highgrade dysplasia imparting a higher risk.
Villous adenomas and polyps over 1 cm in
diameter are at increased risk of harboring
high-grade dysplasia or progressing to
colorectal cancer. Additionally, villous histology, presence of high-grade dysplasia, and
larger numbers of polyps impart an increased
risk for development of metachronous
colorectal cancer. Due to their obligatory
presence of dysplasia, adenomatous polyps
should be removed endoscopically. If unable
to resect endoscopically, surgical resection
should be considered. The ongoing risk of
future polyp development and metachronous
colorectal cancer mandates that these patients
continue to undergo surveillance colonoscopy.
E. Histologically, serrated polyps are character-
ized by glandular serration with a luminal
saw-toothed pattern in epithelial crypts.
Hyperplastic polyps are the most common
subtype, comprising over 75% of serrated
polyps. These are typically at, pale lesions
located at the end of rectosigmoid mucosal
folds with the proliferation zone located near
the bottom of the crypts. They are commonly
less than 5mm in diameter and do not contain dysplasia. While they develop at a
younger age than adenomas, hyperplastic
polyps do not substantially increase in frequency with age. It is rare for small (≤1cm),
distally located hyperplastic polyps to
develop into colorectal cancer. Alternatively,
large hyperplastic polyps are considered to
be precursor lesions to SSPs, and as such can
progress to cancer. Given this, patients with
small, distal hyperplastic polyps should follow normal colorectal screening guidelines.
Sessile serrated polyps are the newest
identied members of the serrated group,
representing 15–20% of these polyps. These
lesions are at or mildly elevated, greater
than 5mm in diameter, and most commonly
found in the proximal colon. Dysplasia is
also typically absent, but the proliferation

59 Colonic Conditions: Benign Colonic Neoplasia
453
causes asymmetry of the crypts with some
inverted crypts found below the muscularis
mucosae (pseudo-invasion).
Traditional serrated adenomas are the
least common of the serrated polyps, comprising just 5% of the group. They do, however, have a slightly higher prevalence in
Asia. These lesions are usually located in the
left colon and are more common in the
elderly. They are exophytic lesions, histologically characterized by prominent serration
and ectopic crypt formation with a loss of
crypt orientation toward the muscularis
mucosae. Unlike the other serrated polyps,
TSAs do contain dysplasia.
Both SSPs and TSAs carry an increased
risk of malignant degeneration and should be
managed similarly to adenomatous polyps.
The molecular pathway leading to cancer
from a SSP differs from the chromosomal
instability pathway associated with an adenomatous polyp. These cancers are usually
associated with hypermethylation of the promoter region of MLH1. This epigenetic phenomenon results in underexpression of
MLH1, resulting in tumors that are microsatellite unstable, CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP)-high, and predominantly
right-sided. Sessile serrated polyps can be
very difcult to detect and can easily be
missed during a colonoscopy. This may
account, in part, for the observation that
tumors detected following a reportedly normal colonoscopy are more likely to be microsatellite unstable and CIMP-high.
The at nature of these polyps can also
cause difculty with complete endoscopic
removal, and surgical resection can be a
potential option in these cases. In addition,
patients with distal serrated polyps appear to
be at increased risk of synchronous and
metachronous adenomas or colorectal cancer, predicating the need for continued endoscopic surveillance.
F. Hamartomatous polyps are rare, but are the
most common polyps diagnosed in children.
These polyps are also more commonly symptomatic, presenting with rectal bleeding,
abdominal pain, obstruction, or anemia. They
are typically cherry-red and pedunculated,
varying in size. Histologically, hamartomatous polyps are divided into juvenile polyps
and Peutz-Jeghers polyps.
Juvenile polyps are composed of normal
epithelium with a dense stroma, inammatory inltrate, and dilated mucus-lled cystic
glands. As implied by in the name, these polyps are the most common gastrointestinal
polyps in children, though they can be diagnosed at any age. Juvenile polyps are typically located in the rectosigmoid region and
are removed endoscopically when found due
to bleeding risk. These polyps may be associated with adenomas and colorectal cancer,
but this event appears quite rare. If there are
multiple (i.e., juvenile polyposis syndrome),
genetic testing may be required. If they are
symptomatic and are not amenable to endoscopic removal, surgery may be required.
Peutz-Jeghers polyps are multilobulated
with a papillary surface and branching bands
of hyperplastic glandular mucosa overlying
smooth muscle contiguous with the muscularis mucosae. They are usually, but not
always, associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and are most often found in people
over the age of 40. Solitary Peutz-Jeghers
polyps can harbor dysplasia and have been
known to result in colorectal cancer. Given
their association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, polypectomy plus colonoscopy and
endoscopy is recommended.
G. There are numerous treatment modalities
available for benign colonic neoplasia, varying based on the size and location of the
lesion. The ultimate goals are to completely
remove the neoplastic tissue and to provide
an adequate tissue sample for pathological
review. Most colonic polyps detected on
colonoscopy are less than 10mm in diameter. These small lesions have a low risk of
dysplasia, and therefore resection techniques
must be low risk. Polypectomy utilizing cold
forceps is appropriate for lesions less than
3mm in diameter. The lesion will often be
removed with one bite, but a second pass can

454
be utilized. Risks of this procedure are quite
low. Utilization of hot forceps is no longer
recommended, especially in the right colon,
given the increased risk of bleeding and perforation with this technique. Cold snaring is
the preferred technique for lesions up to
7 mm in size (Fig. 59.2). The resection
should include a small margin of normal tissue to ensure complete removal of the polyp.
Hot snaring can be used for polyps over
7mm in diameter. Pedunculated lesions are
also appropriate for hot snaring given the
increased risk of bleeding.
H. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is used
to remove larger (1.5–2cm), sessile polyps
(Fig. 59.3). This technique is frequently

facilitated with submucosal injection of saline
to lift the mucosal or submucosal lesion off of
the muscularis propria. Because of the larger
size, these lesions are typically then removed
in a piecemeal fashion using electrocautery.
Notably, piecemeal resection does make it
more difcult for histologic evaluation, which
is a concern for lesions found to have malignant foci.
I. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is
a more technically demanding variant of
EMR (Fig. 59.4). This technique requires
specialized training and involves submucosal
injection with circumferential dissection of
the involved mucosa and submucosa with
diathermic knives. The goal is to accomplish
a
an en bloc resection rather than a piecemeal
resection. As such, this technique is mainly
utilized for lesions felt to have a higher risk
of harboring a malignancy. Additionally, submucosal tattooing should be considered
when removing large polyps to allow for
identication during follow-up colonoscopy
or surgery (Fig.59.5).
J. Combined endoscopic and laparoscopic sur-
gery (CELS) is a newer alternative to segmental colonic resection for patients with an
endoscopically unresectable polyp proximal
to the rectum. This technique allows a laparoscopic surgeon to manipulate the bowel
wall to allow for easier endoscopic polypectomy. Patients with a benign colonoscopic

biopsy or a biopsy with high-grade dysplasia
and benign appearance on endoscopy are eligible. Due to the necessary bowel manipulation, this technique is most useful in patients
without an extensive abdominal surgical history. The patient is placed in modied lithotomy position, and carbon dioxide
colonoscopy is performed to prevent the
over-dilation of the colon. The endoscopist
injects submucosal dilute indigo carmine
solution to lift the polyp and help prevent a
full-thickness injury. Endoscopic piecemeal
resection is then performed. The laparoscopic surgeon can help manipulate the
bowel to optimize the resection. Furthermore,
the surgeon can visualize the bowel and
place sutures if there is concern for a full
thickness burn or perforation. An additional
benet of CELS includes the ability to
immediately proceed to laparoscopic segmental resection if still unable to resect the
polyp endoscopically or if visual ndings
are consistent with malignancy.
K. Large polyps in the distal rectum can be
resected via transanal excision (TAE) with primary closure. This can be done in the submucosal plane, or a full-thickness resection can
be performed if there is a high suspicion for
malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound is often
performed prior to this procedure to ensure
there is no invasion into the submucosa.

L. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM)
and transanal minimally invasive surgery
(TAMIS) are minimally invasive techniques
that can be used to resect rectal polyps up to
18cm from the anal verge, which is higher
than can be accessed with TAE.Specialized
equipment is used to perform a submucosal
or full-thickness resection with primary closure. The recurrence rate with these techniques is lower than with TAE and is thus
typically preferred. For those lesions that are
too large for minimally invasive techniques,
a surgical resection may be necessary.
M. Finally, if the polyp cannot be resected by any
of these endoscopic techniques, a surgical
resection is necessary, assuming the patient is
medically t. This latter point is critical to
understand. When proceeding to surgical
resection the surgeon must balance the risk of
surgery with the potential benet, remembering that the primary goal of surgery is to prevent a future cancer. If the patient’s life
expectancy is limited by either patient age
and/or medical conditions, it may be prudent
not to proceed with surgical resection.
On the other hand, once there is a decision
to proceed to surgery it should be noted that
these high-risk polyps could harbor occult
cancer in up to 20% of patients. Therefore,
surgical resection should follow the principles of an oncologic resection—including a
high ligation of the appropriate vessels—so
that if an occult invasive lesion is discovered
on pathological review, the proper operation
has been performed (Fig.59.6). This is particularly true in very large polyps or those
with high-grade dysplasia noted on preoperative biopsies.
N. Ablative techniques can also be used for pol-
yps not easily resected by endoscopic means.
The polyp is destroyed using an energy
device, most commonly with electrocautery
or an argon plasma coagulator (APC).
Ablative techniques are generally not as
effective as resection but can be used in highrisk patients or following a piecemeal resection to ablate areas that may not have been
fully resected (Fig.59.7).
