Gastric polyps. Comparison of electrosurgical and radio-wave polypectomies
Abstract
The work is based on the analysis of treatment of 162 patients with gastric polyps. A comparative analysis of electrosurgical and radio-wave methods of polypectomy was performed. The both methods of excision of gastric polyps were equally effective, and radio-wave polypectomy was accompanied by less number of complications. The results of long-term follow up propose a lower rate of recurrent polyps after radio-wave polypectomy.
