Abstract

Introduction: Gastric polyps are commonly found incidentally on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Objective: Review the most common gastric polyps and present a case of symptomatic polyps managed with laparoscopic total gastrectomy following the fast track protocol.

Clinical case: Patient with symptomatic diffuse gastric polyps who had a total laparoscopic gastrectomy following the fast track protocol, who is discharged at home at fourth day post-surgery.

Discussion: The most common are hyperplastic polyps, fundic gland polyps, adenomas and inflammatory fibroid polyps. Is very important to obtain biopsies to assess the histology and malignant potential. In certain cases a total gastrectomy is recommended. The fast track rehabilitation protocol is a safe method to decrease hospital stay and improve recovery. Key words: gastric polyposis; gastrectomy; laparoscopic surgery.
