| Popis: | The hamartomatous polyps of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) can cause repeated episodes of rectal bleeding and intestinal subocclusion. Laparoscopic treatment of intussusception is rarely reported and must be considered for this clinical condition. We described a 35-year-old male with PJS who presented with rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. One duodenal polyp and two others in the jejunum, which caused intussusception, were visualized on preoperative investigation. Polyps were identified by laparoscopy and removed extracorporeally through enterotomies. All lesions were hamartomas. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day and has been asymptomatic for more than 2 years. Laparoscopy allows an adequate access to explore and treat small bowel polyps and avoid the classic laparotomy. |
