Summary
This study introduces a new endoscopic device for safer gastric polypectomy, reducing complications and enabling accurate cancer diagnosis. It offers patients a minimally invasive option for polyp removal and anxiety relief.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Medical Devices
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Gastric polyps pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
- Traditional polypectomy methods may carry risks of complications.
- Accurate diagnosis of gastric polyps, including cancer, is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel forward-viewing fiberscope for gastric polypectomy.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic polypectomy using an electro-surgical technique.
- To assess the diagnostic accuracy of fiberscopic excision for gastric polyps.
Main Methods:
- Design and implementation of a two-channel forward-viewing fiberscope.
- Application of electro-surgical technique for endoscopic polypectomy.
- Clinical evaluation of the procedure in gastric polyp cases.
Main Results:
- The new fiberscope facilitated safer and easier gastric polypectomy.
- No significant complications such as electrical accidents, bleeding, or perforation were observed.
- Mucosal ulcerations healed within a month, and the procedure proved effective for diagnosing gastric polyp cancer, potentially serving as a "perfect biopsy".
Conclusions:
- Endoscopic polypectomy using the developed fiberscope is a safe and effective procedure.
- This technique offers a minimally invasive approach for gastric polyp management and diagnosis.
- Patients benefit from reduced anxiety and improved physical and mental health with minimal procedural risks.
