Title: Inflammatory cloacogenic polyps in children: diagnostic yield of rectal retroflexion during
colonoscopy
Version: 2 Date: 09 Dec 2021
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting and well-written manuscript.
The main limitation of the study is its retrospective design but due to the high number of patients
I believe that the manuscript is worthy of publication. I suggest to add in the discussion section
the potential role of digital rectal examination and fecal calprotectine in the evaluation of this
kind of patients. Add in the reference section the recent manuscript published on this topic
(Faecal calprotectin and ultrasonography as non-invasive screening tools for detecting colorectal
polyps in children with sporadic rectal bleeding: a prospective study. Di Nardo G, et al. Ital J
Pediatr.2020 May 20;46:66).
