It was given 60 mg once a day for one month, and then was discontinued for one month, then used again for one month, and then discontinued for one month; in this way, aspirin was used every two months for the patient’s life. The follow-up was performed for 17 years.Results The combined therapy, which consisted of a surgical operation of cutting the superior mesenteric artery & vein and making anastomosis of the ileum pouch and the anal canal within the muscular sheath of the rectum and an internal medical therapy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, had a good therapeutic effect on familial polyposis coli and no duodenal polyp occurred in the 6 patients.Conclusion Our combined therapy can effectively treat familial polyposis coli, and aspirin can prevent duodenal polyp development after the operation.展开更多
