Background and study aims: Colonic lesions unsuitable for endoscopic resection and some early cancers that have been incompletely excised endoscopically, are generally treated by segmental colectomy, even though local excision might be adequate. The aim of this study was to develop a laparo-endoscopic procedure for full-thickness local excision of the colon.
