What are the endoscopic surveillance guidelines for sporadic duodenal adenomas?
- Sporadic duodenal adenomas are usually removed completely with endoscopic techniques, and surveillance endoscopy is usually performed to ensure complete tissue removal and to assess for recurrence.
- Currently, there is no established surveillance interval for patients with sporadic duodenal adenomas.
- Patients discovered to have advanced (stage IV) duodenal polyposis require surgical consultation for possible resection.
- All patients found to have duodenal adenomas should be offered colonoscopy because they are at increased risk for colorectal polyps.
