Argon Plasma Coagulation in Enhancing the Healing of Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome & Controlling Its Bleeding ()
ABSTRACT
Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome
(SRUS) is an uncommon disorder of defecation. Its management is usually unsatisfactory and responds best to
surgery especially when there is rectal prolapse. There is a new report
of the use of Argon plasma coagulation (APC) to enhance healing of these ulcers
& control its bleeding in a study involving 16 patients. We involved a larger
number of 18 patients in this case series to examine the role of APC in
enhancing healing of SRUS & control its bleeding.
