[Endoscopic stomach polypectomy].

Abstract

During 33 months in 45 patients 52 times an endoscopic polypectomy was performed in the stomach or in the duodenum. The polyp or the polyposis of the stomach in every case should be clarified with the help of endoscopic polypectomy and histological examination. The histological type of the polyps got in toto determines the therapeutic methods essentially deviating from each other. After a polypectomy a regular gastroscopic control is necessary. The 10% frequency of postoperative bleedings after endoscopic polypectomy may be reduced by improvement of the technique.

[Endoscopic and intraoperative ultrasonography in staging of stomach neoplasms].

In Japan a better prognosis of gastric cancer has been achieved by early diagnosis and wide, careful lymphectomy. This is not true in western countries. Thus the Authors believe that rational surgical strategy and the careful use of advanced diagnostic tools would produce a better outcome. The Authors report the new diagnostic methods that they adopt in every case of gastric neoplasm: endoscopic ultrasonography, which also proved useful in submucosal tumors, like lymphomas; parenteral nutrition, immune status assessment for a possible use of immune response modulators, single-dose antimicrobial prophylaxis, antithrombotic prophylaxis, autologous blood storage, in order to reduce transfusion-linked risks. Surgical strategy is also reported, which includes wide resection with adequate margins, R2 lymphectomy and intraoperative assessment of disease extension by ultrasonography.
