This protocol addresses Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in the specific setting of intussusception of the gastrointestinal tract caused by enlarged polyps — a complication that requires prompt clinical decision-making.
Enlarged polyps cause intussusception, and surgical treatment is often necessary. This complication defines the management context and directly shapes the choice of intervention.
Management centres on surgical treatment of the intussusception; in certain cases, an endoscopic approach may also be available. The full structured protocol details the clinical criteria and stepwise decision points — access it below.
