About Rectal Polyp Excision

Rectal polyp excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a surgical gastroenterologist to remove abnormal growths (polyps) from the rectum. These polyps, which can be benign or potentially precancerous, are typically identified during a colonoscopy. The procedure is crucial for preventing colorectal cancer, as removing polyps stops them from developing into malignancy. Using specialized instruments passed through a colonoscope, the surgeon carefully cuts or burns off the polyp. The tissue is then sent to a lab for analysis to determine if it is cancerous. This outpatient procedure is generally well-tolerated, involves minimal discomfort, and is a key component of colorectal cancer screening and prevention strategies.
