Summary:With the development of endoscopic therapy in children, endoscopic electrocoagulation polypectomy had gradually replaced surgery and became an important method to resect gastrointestinal polyps in children. Simple electrocoagulation polypectomy could often bring some complications of gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation because of incomplete electrocoagulation or mechanical incision, especially in gastrointestinal thick-pedunculated polyps which always have thick nutrient blood vessel. Hemoclips can successfully interdict arteriovenous blood because it can clamp tissue firmly without causing necrosis around the target area. Based on its good mechanical hemostasis, hemoclips are not only widely used in treating bleeding like from ulcer, tumor and variceal ligation but also used in removal of thick-pedunculated gastrointestinal polyps in adults. This paper describes the application of endoscopic electrocoagulation with metal hemoclips to remove thick-pedunculated intestinal polpys in children for the first
