Treatment of Gastrointestinal Polyps in Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome

Juvenile polyposis syndrome is characterised by the presence of multiple polyps distributed throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical management is shaped by polyp characteristics — principally whether polyps are symptomatic and their size — to reduce the risk of serious complications.

Endoscopic intervention is central to the management of gastrointestinal polyps in this condition. Specific criteria determine which polyps are prioritised for treatment; the complete criteria, procedural guidance, and any further escalation steps are contained in the full protocol.
