Laparoscopic-assisted Polypectomy: A Promising Minimally-invasive Solution for Endoscopically Irresectable Polyps in Children

Abstract

Small and large bowel polyps are commonly associated in children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and juvenile polyposis Syndrome (JPS). A promising technique was described to identify polyps' locations laparoscopically without the need for concurrent endoscopy or digital palpation. The aim of this study is to report one center's experience in applying this laparoscopic-assisted polypectomy technique (LAPT).
