title: The clinical characteristics and treatment of intestinal hamartomas.
abstract: The study aims to investigate the intestinal (small and large intestine) clinical features and treatment of hamartoma. Nowadays, with the rapid development of new technologies, digestive system endoscopy has been proven to be an effective device for treatment, rather than just a diagnostic tool. Such development plays a revolutionary role in diagnosis and treatment for digestive diseases. And endoscopic treatment was used in this study (LED light source, wavelength 580 ∼ 595 nm, power 200 W). A retrospective analysis of 20 cases of intestinal hamartomas performed from January 2012 to January 2016 to summarize its clinical characteristics and follow-up study on the therapeutic effect of the patients. There were 8 cases for endoscopic operation, and 12 cases for surgical operation. Comparison of tumor size between endoscopic and surgical estimated by using Wilcoxon rank sum test for tumor length (Z = -3.134, p = 0.001), and for tumor diameter (Z = -2.920, p = 0.002). The results of this study showed that intestinal hamartomas and gender have no significant relationship. The incidence of the disease is concentrated under 60 years, the incidence of the small intestine is significantly higher than that of the large intestine, and the rate of misdiagnosis is high. Endoscopic and surgical treatment are the main treatment, the prognosis is good, and after the radical resection, the recurrence was less.
