ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) in the follow-up treatment of small intestinal polyps in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS).Methods:From February 2005 to September 2019, the clinical data of patients with PJS who visited Air Force Medical Center many times and underwent BAE for small intestinal polyps surveillance and treatment were collected. The number of follow-up treatment times under BAE, operation-related complications and conservative theragy or surgical treatment were observed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between follow-up treatment times under BAE and the number and maximum diameter of small intestinal polyps.Results:A total of 165 PJS patients were enrolled, including 98 males and 67 females, and the mean age of first visit was (22.5±9.4) years. A total of 664 BAE operations were performed in the 165 PJS patients. The number of BAE operations and the number of follow-up treatments for each patient were 4.0±1.8 and 2.8±1.1, respectively. There were 26, 52, 35, 28, 12, 4, 2, 2, 2 and 2 patients who underwent 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 BAE operations, respectively. There were 165, 76, 30, 12, 4 and 4 patients who received 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 follow-up treatments, respectively. During the first to the fifth times of BAE follow-up treatment, the numbers of small bowel polyps resected under BAE of each patient were 7.0 (2.0, 11.0), 4.0 (2.0, 10.0), 3.0 (1.0, 8.5), 5.5 (1.8 , 10.3) and 3.0 (2.0, 6.8), respectively; and the maximum diameters of resected small intestinal polyps were 4.5 cm(3.0 cm, 6.0 cm), 3.0 cm(1.5 cm, 4.0 cm), 2.0 cm (1.5 cm, 3.0 cm), 3.0 cm(2.5 cm, 4.0 cm) and 2.5 cm(1.5 cm, 4.0) cm, respectively. The results of Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that the number of follow-up treatment under BAE was negatively correlated with the number and maximum diameter of resected small intestinal polyps ( r s=-0.141, P=0.003; r s=-0.400, P<0.01). The total incidence of operation-related complications of small intestinal polyps resection under BAE was 3.2% (21/664), and 61.9%(13/21)of the complications were cured by conservative therapy. During the follow-up period, there were 26 cases of PJS complicated with intestinal intussusception, of which 20 cases (76.9%, 20/26) disappeared after BAE resection of small intestinal polyps. A total of 13 patients received surgery for intussusception (6 cases) or large polyps blocking the intestinal lumen (7cases). Conclusions:BAE is safe and effective in the follow-up treatment of small intestinal polyps in PJS. It can reduce the number and maximum diameter of small intestinal polyps, prevent and treat the complications related to small intestinal polyps, and effectively reduced surgical treatments.
