Abstract:
The brief historical information concerning the stages in endoscopic polypectomy development is given. Indications and contraindications to polypectomy by means of modern fiberendoscopes are formulated. The results of 409 polypectomies accomplished by means of endoscopes are analysed. The method of electroexcision of polyps is described, and it is to be emphasized that the former is the most radical one among the currently used technics of polypectomy. Attention is paid not only to great therapeutic efficacy of the operation but also to its economic effectiveness.
