Laparoscopic removal of posterior gastric wall polyp trough gastrotomy using hand suturing and mechanical abdominal wall retractor.
Gastrofiberscopy is suitable not only for diagnostics, but for the therapy of benign gastric polyp and early gastric cancer as well. Surgery is necessary if endoluminal ultrasonography cannot exclude the extension of early gastric cancer to the submucosa or if, because of a recurrent or giant polyp, gastrofiberscopic polypectomy is unsuccessful.
