  • Description
Description

A technique called Polypectomy is a noninvasive surgical treatment. The entire procedure is executed under the eyes of the surgeon or endoscopy specialists to remove formation of polyps, from the certain body organ. Polyps are the growth of abnormal cells that can form in the inner lining of any organ including stomach, nose, uterus, gallbladder, intestine etc. 

Polyps are recognized as abnormal tissues or body cavities which grow into the hollow space of the particular organ. Usually these are not harmful however, oftentimes it can be pre-cancerous that can lead to cancer. Some polys may develop in large size and can affect blood-flow and pose pressure on the organ and can cause various symptoms.

Many growths of polys are non-cancerous but these eventually become cancerous if not treated on time. Therefore, Polypectomy surgery is recommended to prevent the growth of these abnormal tissues. After removal,   polys are examined in the labs for prevention of different kinds of cancers including colon, stomach and gallbladder cancer.

  • Bowel preparation includes laxative, a stool softener that is used to treat constipation, an anema fluid given to the patients for clearing bowels. Lastly, a liquid diet, like soups and juices. 
  • The patient’s vitals like heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, sugar level and oxygen level will be examined right before the Polypectomy.

Polypectomy Surgery Process & Its Cost in India

However, its final cost depends on various factors like type of surgery, doctor expertise, city, and hospitalization. The whole procedure involve different medical technique and certain steps which are as follows: 

  • Once the doctor does a physical examination then he/she determines anesthesia to the patient according to his condition.
  • Then the patient lies on the bed, knees pulled towards his chest. 
  • After that the doctor inserts a colonoscope through anus, into the rectum and the colon. A patient may experience little pressure however it does not hurt much.
  • While performing the procedure the surgeon might use a gas to inflate your colon to enhance the visibility. 
  • The colonoscopy will capture inside images of the colon and project them on the screen to evaluate location and size of polyps. 
  • Once the poly is detected, pylorectomy will be executed by the surgeon through following techniques these include:   

Snare Polypectomy  

  • This technique involves a thin wire (snare) that will be linked to one end of the colonoscope. And inserted into the colon detected the location of the polyp. 
  • The snare loops around the polyp generates heat that will scrape or cut off the polyp. The whole polyp will be removed through the colonoscope.  

Note:- Technique is beneficial to remove small size polyp.

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) & Piece-Meal Polypectomy

This technique is used to remove large size polyps that are causing problems. 

In this process a saline solution is injected to lift the poly from its location. 

Then a snare is inserted through the colonoscope and with the help of it the polyp is reduced as a whole. 

The heat generated by the snare cuts off the polyp from its base location. 

When the polyp is entirely removed it is sent to the lab for further testing and investigation.
