title: [Endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric polyps].
abstract: The authors present a clinico-statistical analysis of results of endoscopic polypectomy and dynamic observation of 258 patients with gastric polyps. The aim of the investigation was to determine a true histological diagnosis of gastric polyps using excisional biopsy. An endoscopic investigation has revealed 475 polyps in the stomach of 258 patients. Endoscopic polypectomy by the method of electroexcision and preliminary submucous administration of solutions was used for 218 polyps having the size more than 0.5 cm. Patients with formations located submucously and malignant tumors of the stomach (polypoid cancers included) were not investigated. Metaplastic and dysplastic alterations characteristic of adenomatous polyps were detected by the method of chromoscopy.
