Can only polyps to remove with gastroscopy at the duodenum ?
That's something your doctor must decide, depending on how serious the manifestation of polyps is. Reading about that subject there is a possibility to remove polyps in that part of the small intestine during a gastroscopy. But only a specialist can say how to procede, depending on the scope and biopsy results.
If you are unsure what to do you may ask for a second opinion. It is always critical to lose parts of the small intestine, as a recent post in this forum showed.
i want to ask something about whipple procedure(tips ideas)
I had a consultation today with my doctor about Whipple surgery.
He told me that there are two options, one is to operate on me to make a whipple surgery
Remove part of pancreas part of stomach and duodenum
However for him I am 30 years old so many organs to lose it is a crippling operation in most cases..
The second option is follow-up every 6 or 3 months and endoscopically to remove polyps
He said the second one is risky because they don't see all the polyps, but it's better because it's not crippling
