Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Surgical options include polypectomy, laparotomy in case of intussusception, and laser cosmetic therapy may be considered for mucocutaneous pigmentation.[1][2]
Surgery
- Polypectomy is performed if the patient presented with any of the following:[1]
- Copious rectal bleeding
- Intussusception
- Laparotomy and desvagination of intestinal loops may be needed in case of intussusception[3]
- Laser cosmetic therapy may be considered for mucocutaneous pigmentation
