    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Pathology

    Background:

    • Gastric polyps are common findings during upper endoscopy.
    • Epigastric discomfort is a frequent symptom prompting investigation.
    • Polyps vary in type, including hyperplastic, adenomatous, and carcinoid.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of endoscopic gastric polypectomy.
    • To assess the incidence of malignancy in resected gastric polyps.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic polyp removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 48 consecutive endoscopic gastric polypectomies.
    • Analysis of patient complaints, polyp types, and pathological findings.
    • Correlation of polyp size with malignant transformation.

    Main Results:

    • Hyperplastic polyps were most common, followed by adenomatous polyps.
    • Two adenomatous polyps showed in situ malignant changes (17% incidence).
    • Mean size of adenomatous polyps with malignancy was 1.4 cm; no malignancy in hyperplastic polyps.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic gastric polypectomy is a safe and effective therapy for gastric polyps.
    • Endoscopic removal of adenomatous polyps <2 cm diameter is associated with a low risk of malignancy.
    • Timely endoscopic intervention is crucial for managing gastric polyps and preventing malignant transformation.
