Abstract
ASAKI, S. Endoscopical Polypectomy Using High Frequency Current: Double-Snare Method of Polypectomy for Prevention of Incidental Bleeding and Perforation. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1982, 136 (2), 215-218-The author developed a double-snare method of high-frequency-current-applied endoscopical polypectomy (double-snare polypectomy, for short). Since 1975 the double-snare polypectomy was applied to 40 gastric polyps (36 patients), over 15mm in the largest diameter. 7 massively hemorrhaged cases after polypectomy were treated by hemostatic methods, such as electrocoagulation and pure ethanol injection. This method was warranted as a reliable formula for a risk-less resection of large polyps without causing persistent major bleeding or fateful perforation.-polyp; stomach; endoscopic polypectomy; double-snare method; high frequency current
