[Diagnostic value and therapeutic limits of endoscopic polypectomy of the stomach].
Digestive endoscopy represents the current therapy of the gastric polyps. These lesions are endoscopically found in an unexpected number of patients, because of the frequent failure of radiology by itself. Furthermore endoscopic radical polypectomy is mostly possible for the inflammatory and adenomatous polyps. Otherwise endoscopy favours the early detection of malignant changes and coexisting per-cancerous gastropathy. A wide review of the literature is given.
