Endoscopic Gastroduodenal Polypectomy

Abstract: During a 6-year period from 1976 to 1982, 7346 gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures were performed in the Surgical Endoscopy Unit of Beth Israel Medical Center. This report summarizes our experience with 443 gastroduodenal polyps excised in 257 patients. Of these, 123 were male and 134 female, ranging in age from 19 to 92. The vast majority were between the ages of 60 and 80. With one exception, polyps varied from 0.3 cm to 6 cm in diameter (one patient had a 12-cm hyperplastic polyp). There were 399 gastric … Show more

“…They may also arise as part of a genetic predisposition such as Familial Adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Duodenal polyps are uncommon, being reported in 0.3-4.6% of patients who present for Oesophago-GastroDuodenoscopy [5]. Management of all duodenal lesions is dependent on a full evaluation of patient's symptoms, clinical features, endoscopic findings, histology and cross sectional imaging.…”
