Novel treatment (new drug/intervention; established drug/procedure in new situation)
Successful management of intussusception with total polyp clearance in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome using a combined endoscopic and surgical approach

Summary

Intussusception due to small intestinal polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome represents a significant clinical challenge. Neither pure surgical nor endoscopic approaches alone are effective in the long-term management of this problem. We describe a combined approach using both surgery and small bowel endoscopy in the management of this condition, which resulted in both immediate and long-term success. Although not new, we believe this approach remains relevant despite recent technological advancements in this area.
