Endoscopic polypectomy is essential for the prevention of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome-associated complications, including intussusception, intestinal obstruction, and malignant transformation. Conventional polypectomy is the preferred approach, but it can be challenging to achieve in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome because of the high polyp burden and polyps located in areas with difficult endoscopic access. This case report highlights 2 different techniques of ischemic polypectomy and its advantage compared with conventional polypectomy in this subset of patients.
