Abstract
AIM: To discuss the practical value of high-frequency electricity combined with argon plasma coagulation in treatment of gastric polypus.
METHODS: A total of 70 patients with 356 gastric polypi were excised either with high-frequency electroresection combined with argon plasma coagulation or with high-frequency electroresection only.
RESULTS: One hundred eighty two polypi in 36 patients (group A), were excised with high-frequency electroresection combined with argon plasma coagulation without hemostasia, while 174 polypi in 34 patients (group B) were excised with high-frequency electroresection. For group A, all polypi were excised successfully once. For group B, 145 polypi were removed successfully while 19 polypi needed hemostasia. The hemostatic effect was better in group B than in group A (χ2 = 33.02, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: High-frequency electroresection combined with argon plasma coagulation is a safe, simple, and promising way to treat gastric polypus.
