[Removal of polyps from the stomach and large intestine through a fiberscope]
Abstract:
Polypectomy was performed with a special device (a loop and scissors) inserted via the biopsy canal of a fibroscope. During polypectomy diathermic currents from a commerical electric knife are used. An experience with 67 polypectomies has shown that this operation requirs no special pre- and postoperative measures. Failures of polypectomy were as follows: inadequate polypectomy and development of pseudorecurrences, "a loss" of a polyp during its removal, an impossibility ot loop a polyp. Complications that may appear are described.
