Analysis demonstrates safe cooperative resection in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, suggesting better outcomes for intestinal issues.
In Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS), laparotomy is recommended for patients accompanied by intestinal intussusception or malignancy [1] [2] [3]. Resection of the remaining asymptomatic polyps during operation is unusual, with increased risk of enteric fistula or short bowel syndrome, while the following endoscopic polypectomy may be tough. We considered that laparotomy and endoscopy cooperative resection might be safe and efficient to solve the problem.
