Transgastric laparoscopic polypectomy in giant gastric polyps not susceptible of endoscopic management: novel surgical technique and case series

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Background:The identification of gastric polyps incidentally in endoscopies of the upper digestive tract has increased its incidence, varying between 0.5% and 23%.10% of these polyps have symptoms, 40% are hyperplastic.We allow ourselves to propose a laparoscopic technique for the management of giant hyperplastic polyps associated with a pyloric syndrome, not susceptible to endoscopic resection.Method: A series of patients approached by laparoscopic transgastric polypectomy due to the giant gastric polyps associated with pyloric syndrome, in Bogotá, Colombia, from January 2015 to December 2018.Results: Seven patients, 85% female, with an average age of 51 years, who were admitted for pyloric syndrome and were taken to laparoscopic management, with an average surgical time of 42 min, intraoperative bleeding 7-8 cc, tolerance to the oral route 24 hours, no conversion, without mortality.Conclusions: Transgastric polypectomy for the management of benign giant gastric polyps that cannot be resected endoscopically turns out to be a feasible method, with a low rate of complications and without mortality.
