Abstract:
Until 1970 endoscopy of the digestive tract was the only diagnostic method available. After this date, the introduction of endoscopic polypectomy enabled patients affected by these lesions to be treated, and at the same time considerably reduced their length of stay in hospital. The paper reports the results of 346 gastric polypectomies performed in 187 patients from 1974 to the present.
