Colorectal adenomas are frequent in the western countries. The estimated lifetime risk is approximately 40% [1]. One third of these lesions will develop in the rectum and about 10% will become malignant [2]. Moreover, the widespread of colorectal cancer screening will necessarily lead to increased detection of adenomas and early rectal cancer. Therefore, more rectal lesions will probably undergo endoscopic or surgical management in the next years.
