Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husbsand shows a duodenum ( polyp ) in his stomach tract... he needs to know: ( P.S. ) DOCTOR WILL DO ENDOSCOPY PROCEDURE... HUSBAND S QUESTION is : does the entire duodenum comes out? or does the duodenum belong in your system, is it part of your stomach ????
Hi and Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. I have read your question and here is my advice. Duedenum is not stmach ,it's just the next part ton teh stomach. ( duedenum is not polyp )It is very important for our mg digestion. A polyp is an outgrowth on the inner side of the duedenum, like a finger projecting from its inside .the polyp is removed by simple snatching it .There is no need to remove stomach or duedenum if the polyp is a simple one and it is most of times simple. Hopes I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this. kind Regards Dr Rahman
