[Endoscopic removal of small intestinal polyps in total polyposis of the digestive tract].

In patients with proliferative and mixed forms of total polyposis of the digestive tract the intestinal polyps are mainly localized in the duodenum, with hamartomal polyposis--in the jejunum and ileus. The endoscopic polypectomy from the small intestine may be performed intraoperatively and during endoscopy under narcosis. 174 polyps with the diameter of 0.5-5 cm were removed in 27 patients. There were 3 complications (bleedings) after polypectomy.
