The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease manifested by a combination of mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps that usually cause intussusception and intestinal hemorrhage. We report a case in which the patient has been followed-up on for 14 years and who underwent surgical and endoscopic polyp removal several times as well as one intestinal resection. This time, with the use of combined surgery and perioperative endoscopy, 27 polyps were removed, performing only 3 enterotomies. This is the highest number in one session to be reported in the literature. The usefulness of this technique is providing a "clean small intestine" that allows the patient a longer time interval between laparotomies and reduces the complications associated with multiple laparotomies and resections.
