Abstract:
Submucosal tumors of the stomach are not uncommon. We present two cases of iatrogenic perforation after snaring large polyps in the gastric fundus. We discuss the probable etiology and review the literature regarding iatrogenic perforation in this location. Submucosal polyps situated in the fundus may produce pseudopedicle. Therefore, we recommend these be treated with caution, and a combined endoscopic and laparoscopic approach is suggested.
