Gastrointestinal Disease

Diagnostic / Examination

Endoscopy

Gastric polyps can be diagnosed through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the shape and size of the polyp can be confirmed.
Biopsy

If there is an abnormality, a biopsy is performed and it can be diagnosed as gastritis, gastric adenoma, or stomach cancer.

Stomach polyp treatment

Gastric polypectomy

Stomach polyps are treated with gastric polypectomy, which involves cutting out and cauterizing polyps using a wire snare via endoscopy (EMR). It is recommended to remove hyperplastic polyps larger than 2 cm using an endoscope. In the case of adenomatous polyps, even if they are small, removal may be necessary as they can progress to cancer. At Gangnam Gie Hospital, the drug is injected and then removed with a hook, and in some cases, it is removed with forceps. The procedure is relatively simple, but it is difficult to sufficiently remove the area around the lesion, so the skill of the medical staff is very important.

Endoscopic treatment process

Step.1
If a polyp is observed, a special filter image is used to confirm the cancerous change of the polyp.

Step.2
Inject medication to remove polyps and resect with hooks.

Step.3
Ensure that the resection surface is cut off properly and that the blood vessels are exposed.

Step.4
Polyps are recovered and pathologically analyzed under a microscope.
