At Tricity Clinic, we provide expert care for Polypectomy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove polyps from various parts of the body, including the colon, nasal passages, and uterine lining. Our skilled team uses advanced techniques to ensure a safe and effective treatment, aimed at improving your health and well-being.
Procedure Details
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where our specialist will assess your condition, discuss your medical history, and recommend the best approach for polypectomy.
- Preparation: Before the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include dietary adjustments or specific medications to follow.
- Procedure: Polypectomy is typically performed using endoscopic techniques. For colon polyps, a colonoscope is inserted through the rectum to locate and remove the polyps. For nasal polyps, a thin endoscope is used to access and remove them through the nostrils. In cases of uterine polyps, a hysteroscope is used to perform the removal through the vaginal canal. The procedure is generally performed under sedation or anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you will be monitored for a short period. You may experience mild discomfort or spotting, depending on the location of the polyps. Our team will provide you with post-procedure care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Risks / Benefits
Benefits:
- Prevention of Complications: Removing polyps can prevent potential complications, including cancer risk, obstruction, or chronic discomfort.
- Symptom Relief: Many patients experience relief from symptoms such as bleeding, pain, or nasal congestion following polypectomy.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is generally minimally invasive with a quick recovery time, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.
Risks:
- Bleeding: There may be a risk of bleeding, especially if the polyp is large or if there are multiple polyps removed.
- Infection: As with any procedure, there is a slight risk of infection at the site of removal.
- Perforation: In rare cases, there may be a risk of perforation (a tear) in the organ where the polyps are removed, requiring further intervention.
