Authors: DALE BRUNS MD, WALTER HARVEY JACOBS MD

Abstract

The electrosurgical removal of polypoid lesions from the upper gastrointestinal tract with the esophagogastrouodenoscope has proven to be a safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive procedure. Twenty-six polypectomies performed on 24 different patients are presented. Polyps were removed from the distal esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and jejunum. There were no significant complications.
