From August 1976 till December 1982 855 polyps were removed by endoscopic polypectomy from the upper and lower digestive tract in 450 patients. With 0.70% the complication rate was very low. Altogether 6 haemorrhages were observed, three of which had to be treated by a transfusion. There did not occur neither a complication which had to be treated surgically nor a fatal one. Among the colon polyps in 9% and among the gastric polyps in 2.9% a malignant change was found. The macroscopic picture of a polyp does not allow a conclusion to the histological findings. Therefore the endoscopic polypectomy and the careful histological investigation of the polyp demand a close cooperation between specialist in endoscopy and pathologist.
1976年8月至1982年12月期间，450例患者的上、下消化道通过内镜息肉切除术切除了855个息肉。并发症发生率非常低，为0.70%。共观察到6例出血，其中3例需要输血治疗。既没有发生需要手术治疗的并发症，也没有发生致命并发症。在结肠息肉中发现9%有恶变，胃息肉中发现2.9%有恶变。息肉的宏观表现无法推断组织学结果。因此，内镜息肉切除术和对息肉进行仔细的组织学检查需要内镜专家和病理学家密切合作。
