title: [The surgical and endoscopic treatments of benign submucosal tumors of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum].
abstract: Analysis of the results of various modes of treatment and follow-up of 160 patients with benign submucosal tumors (BST) was carried out. Most often histological type of BST was leiomyoma (43.7%). BST were mainly located in the stomach (68.7%). 22 patients underwent open operations, 37--endoscopical removal of BST, 101 patients were followed-up from 5 to 10 years. The analysis of the material makes it possible to come to the conclusions about advisability of endoscopical treatment. The results of which are not inferior to surgical method of treatment. In patients with absence or slow growth of BST endoscopic follow-up is valid.
