Abstract:

The main hazards of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in childhood are polyp-related complications. Repeated, multiple, and large polyps in the digestive tract cause intussuscations or intestinal obstruction, which often requires multiple surgical laparotomy. With the development of pediatric digestive endoscopy, prophylactic resection of gastrointestinal polyps has greatly reduced the opening rate of PJS patients in children. This article summarized the preoperative diagnosis, examination timing, preoperative evaluation, treatment principles, surgical techniques and postoperative management of pediatric PJS patients undergoing endoscopy, with a view to providing references for endoscopic treatment of children with PJS.

Key words: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, child, endoscopic treatment
