Abstract

A 72-year-old man with the history of small bowel carcinoma was diagnosed to have a sessile polyp in the jejunum during a follow-up examination. We performed double-balloon endoscopy and removed the polyp by means of cold snare polypectomy. The follow-up endoscopy showed no residual lesion. Cold snare polypectomy has been established as a safe and effective method for the endoscopic treatment of colonic polyps with a low risk of causing electrocautery burns and perforation. However, this technique has not yet been applied for small bowel lesions. This case report, for the first time, shows the feasibility of performing cold snare polypectomy for small bowel polyps.
