Core Tip	Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mucocutaneus pigmentation and multiple polyps in small bowel. Most of pts need surgical intervention for intussusceptions and gastrointestinal bleeding; the surgical risk is up to 50% in pts having a large polyps > 15 mm or rapidly growing. Enteroscopy balloon assisted with resection of small bowel large polyps is useful to avoid emergency laparotomy after performing wireless capsule endoscopy. The effective of prophylactic polypectomy of small bowel large polyps could be the first line treatment for conservative approach in management of PJS patients.
