[Pathogenesis of polyposis of the large intestine]

As a result of the complex investigation of the functional-morphological status of the small intestine, it was shown that polyposis of the colon is associated with a natural involvement of the small intestine in the pathological process. It is felt that the pathology of the small intestine per se is one of the major pathogenetic trains of colonic polyposis, while its clinical manifestation is the result of the functional-morphological imcompetency of compensatory-adaptive reactions in the digestion system.
