“…Recently, some reports have shown that minimal invasive endoscopic treatment of PJS polyps via enteroscopy instead of surgery is safe and easy 5,6,7. However, the difficulty of performing a polypectomy is related to the number and location of polyps.…”

“…Generally, the traditional treatment of surgical resection is difficult to apply for every PJS-related complication because repeated small bowel resection can cause unintentional complications such as short bowel syndrome 3,4. Although minimally invasive endoscopic therapy has been reported recently,5,6,7 its use is also limited for many polyps in the small bowel because of the time-dependent nature of the procedure, air over-distension, incomplete resection, and complications.…”

“…In PJS patients, gastrointestinal polyps begin to grow in the first decade of life and produce clinical symptoms such as intestinal intussusception, which may sometimes be transient intestinal telescoping without clinical sequelae [5,6]. On average, about half of PJS patients experience intestinal intussusception requiring surgery, and one to four operations are performed for recurrent obstruction [3,5]; such repeated surgical procedures result in short bowel syndrome.…”

“…To avoid such complication, it has been recommended that endoscopy e.g. gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and double-balloon enteroscopy should be performed to remove all polyps [13] [14]. Also, during each laparotomy, the small bowel should be examined by means of intraoperative enteroscopy.…”
