[Surgical tactics in the treatment of villous adenoma of the stomach and intestine].

The results of endoscopic and surgical treatment of 183 patients with villous and tubular-villous adenoma of different location are presented. Adenoma of the stomach and duodenum are subject to malignization more often than colonic adenomas. Endoscopic polypectomy is a method of choice in treatment of benign adenoma with a diameter no more than 4 cm. Resection of the involved areas of the stomach and intestine is indicated in detection of a malignant mass and a large benign tumor causing considerable loss of fluid from the organism.
