Hello,
With the question “Corrective” Gastroesophageal reflux with esophageal papillae need to remove papillae? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Esophageal papilloma, a rare benign tumor, often discovered incidentally during esophagoscopy, has been associated with dyspepsia. Large tumors can make swallowing difficult. Some causes of tumors include gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophagitis, and HPV infection. Some tumor reports have the risk of malignancy, so it is still recommended to remove the tumor early, especially in Vietnam, the gastrointestinal endoscopy is very easy and can be done in many places.
Laparoscopic resection can completely resolve the tumor. Can be cold cut, or cut off electricity, burn heat...
If you still have questions about gastroesophageal reflux with esophageal papilloma, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for examination and consultation. to add. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
