About Polypectomy

A polypectomy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to remove abnormal growths called polyps from the inner lining of the digestive tract, most commonly the colon (colon polyps). During a colonoscopy, the gastroenterologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) to visualize the colon. Specialized instruments passed through the scope, such as a wire loop (snare), are used to cut and remove the polyp. The tissue is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine if it is benign, precancerous, or cancerous. This procedure is crucial for both diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions and preventing colorectal cancer, as removing precancerous polyps can stop them from developing into cancer. It is typically an outpatient procedure with a short recovery time.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive procedure with no external incisions.Primary method for preventing colorectal cancer by removing precancerous growths.Performed during a routine diagnostic colonoscopy, combining diagnosis and treatment.Typically an outpatient procedure with a short recovery time.Provides tissue samples for definitive laboratory analysis (biopsy).Generally well-tolerated with sedation for patient comfort./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Presence of polyps detected during a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy.
Polyps causing symptoms like rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.
Follow-up removal of polyps found in previous examinations.
Personal or family history of colorectal polyps or cancer.
As part of surveillance for inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis).
Polyps with features suggesting a higher risk of becoming cancerous (e.g., large size, certain cell types).

How to prepare

Complete bowel cleansing is essential, following a specific clear liquid diet 1-2 days prior.
Taking prescribed laxative solutions to empty the colon completely.
Informing the doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel), which may need to be temporarily stopped.
Discussing allergies and medical conditions like diabetes or heart issues with the care team.
Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as sedation will be used.
Fasting (no food or drink) for several hours before the procedure as instructed.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding from the polyp removal site, which is usually minor and self-limiting.
Perforation (a small tear) in the intestinal wall, which is rare but serious.
Reaction to the sedative medication, such as breathing difficulties or low blood pressure.
Post-polypectomy syndrome, causing pain and fever due to inflammation.
Incomplete removal of the polyp, requiring a repeat procedure.
Infection, though very uncommon with this procedure.

Recovery & hospital stay

Patients recover in a monitored area until sedation wears off, usually for 1-2 hours.
Mild cramping or bloating is common and should subside quickly.
A normal diet can typically be resumed the same day, starting with light meals.
Patients should avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for 24 hours post-sedation.
Minor spotting of blood in the stool may occur but persistent bleeding, severe pain, or fever should be reported immediately.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to discuss biopsy results and future surveillance intervals.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
