Treatment of many rectal adenomas has hitherto been technically difficult because of poor access and extensive lesion size. Four cases are presented where a large rectal adenoma has been successfully resected using a Standard 28Fr urological resectoscope. This is the first known report of this means of treatment. The speed and ease of the technique and the usually pain‐free and rapid recovery of the patients has been encouraging.
