There is a large polyp in my upper duodenum which needs removing. I was told in the UK that it would have to be done with a general and an overnight stay. Can anyone advise where the best place to have it done is?

I am happy to pay whatever it costs. I just want the best chance of it going smoothly

At the moment, I am near Phuket. Although they have an eminent surgeon, a specialist in endoscopy, reviews of the hospital in general are mixed.

I can travel to wherever the best chances of a successful procedure is. Be that Bangkok or Surat Thani, or Pattaya

Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome.

Do you have the biopsy report or other records? I need to understand if endoscopic mucousal removal is possible or if you need laparoscopic surgery. Makes a difference in what doctor I would suggest. 

 

And do you have the initial  endoscopy on DVD?

Biopsy taken twice is negative. EMR is recommended, just waiting lists in UK too long. I had two endoscopies because of admin cock up. But two biopsies too so know it is not cancerous.. I will probably use BKK, so a suggestion for there would be best, Though i am in the South at the moment. Sorry for the slow reply. I have the clinical notes, just say the same basically though I should add it is 2.5 to 3 cm and takes up half the fold.
