[Polyps of the gastric stump (author's transl)].
The incidence of polyps of the gastric stump was investigated retrospectively in a group of 1292 patients having undergone gastric surgery. The classification as proposed by Elster was used; polyps could be found only in 0,7% of the cases, which is about the same incidence as in stomachs not operated upon. All different types of the classification mentioned could be found. The small number of polyps found does not allow statistically significant analysis of the subgroup incidence. However it was noteworthy, that about 1/3 of the polyps showed characteristics of malignancy.
