[Surgical tactics in gastric polyps in patients with diffuse polyposis of the large intestine].

An analysis of results of examination and surgical treatment of 500 patients with diffuse polyposis coli for the recent 30 years has shown that one fourth of the patients have polyps in the stomach. They have structure of adenoma with different degree of epithelialdysplasia. The incidence of polyps and their structure do not change after operation on the colon. Carcinoma of the stomach in such patients can develop in 0,4% of the cases while the malignization index of colon polyps is 150 times higher. Hence, the conclusion is made of the first and foremost importance of operation on the colon.
