Cierre de perforación de intestino delgado posterior a polipectomía de pólipo hamartomatoso

Abstract

Single balloon enteroscopy allows a non-surgical therapeutic approach in patients with small bowel polyps. In patients with Peutz Jeghers Syndrome (SPJ) resection of hamartomatous polyps with this method is safe and effective. Although complications are rare, if they occur, they can be managed conservatively. We present a 16-year-old patient with a history of PJS who underwent an enteroscopy for small bowel polyps. Endoscopic resection of a 3 cm jejunum polyp was performed, and a full thickness intestinal perforation was immediately noticed after the resection. We were able to close the gap with hemo clips. The patient had an excellent clinical outcome.
