ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION OF AN ESOPHAGEAL POLYP CAUSING UNSPEAKABLE PROBLEMS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Fibrovascular polyps in the esophagus can cause symptoms like dysphagia and regurgitation. Treatment involves endoscopic or surgical removal based on polyp size and location. A case study details a 55-year-old male with recurrent polyps. Endoscopic resection involved injecting epinephrine, incising, and using a snare for removal. Despite initial challenges, successful removal was achieved. The patient remains asymptomatic after seven years. The case highlights the importance of individualized management based on polyp characteristics. Multiple endoscopic tools may be utilized, as demonstrated by the novel technique employed in this case.
