Endoskopik incelemede saptanan mide poliplerinin yerleşimi, histopatolojik tipleri ve tedavi yönetimi

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori positivity, presence of intestinal metaplasia, presence of atrophic gastritis, and presence or absence of complications after polypectomy. Results: We evaluated 80 out of 125 polyps (0.6%) found in these patients. Fifty-four (67.5%) patients were women and the mean age was 57.5 ± 12.5 years. Most patients (51.2%) were referred from other centers for polypectomy. According to the gastric mucosa sam- pling, 11.3% of the patients had positive Helicobacter pylori, 20% had intestinal metaplasia, and 21.2% had atrophic gastritis. The size of the polyp was less than 10 mm in 65.6% of the cases. Furthermore, polyps were most commonly found in the corpus (54.4%), antrum (22.4%), and fundus (20.8%). The most common histopathology of polyps were fundic gland polyps (42.4%), hyperplastic polyps (30.4%), and neuro-endocrine tumors (20.8%). Polypectomy with biopsy forceps was the most common polypectomy method used (51.2%). Post polypectomy interprocedural bleeding occurred as a complication of polypectomy in 5 (4%) patients. Conclusion: The rate of gastric polyp discovery in our study was consistent with that in the literature. Because polyps can sometimes be difficult to distinguish endoscopically, polypectomy can be safely performed for any possible polyp and samples should be taken from the adjacent gastric mucosa.
