Endoscopic removal of epithelial formations of the gastrointestinal tract (removal of polyps)
Most gastrointestinal polyps belong to precancerous conditions, and colon polyps are essentially the only way to develop cancer, therefore they require mandatory removal.
Endoscopic removal of epithelial formations (polypectomy) is a minimally invasive operation performed during gastroscopy or colonoscopy with special instruments conducted through the endoscope channel.
Timely detection and removal of polyps can prevent the development of oncology in the stomach and intestines, and therefore avoid more traumatic abdominal operations in the future. Screening endoscopic examinations (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) aimed at early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous conditions are recommended for all patients over 45 years of age, even in the absence of complaints.
Before removing polyps of the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to prepare for a specific endoscopic examination (gastroscopy or colonoscopy), depending on the location of the polyp. It is important to follow all the recommendations for preparing for the study listed on the clinic's website. Poor-quality preparation makes it difficult to visually assess the mucous membrane and is a contraindication to the removal of polyps. If you are taking blood thinning medications (Aspirin, Warfarin, Plavix, etc.), first consult with a cardiologist for correction of blood thinning therapy before the upcoming removal of polyps.
The time of endoscopic removal of polyps depends on the number and characteristics of the identified epithelial growths. Before the polypectomy, the correct positioning and careful examination of the polyp is performed with an assessment of its size, boundaries, and pattern (to predict the morphological structure). Based on the data obtained, the doctor determines the method of polyp removal. The removed polyp is extracted for histological examination. In some cases, the defect of the mucous membrane is sutured with special clips.
At Olympus Clinics, endoscopic operations are performed using high-quality disposable endoscopic instruments from leading manufacturers and modern endoscopic equipment that provides good visualization.
After endoscopic intervention in conditions of drug-induced sleep, it is necessary to exclude driving on the day of the study. After endoscopic removal of epithelial formations, strict adherence to the regime is recommended: within 7 days after the study, exclude heavy physical activity (sports, fitness), weight lifting, overheating (baths, saunas, hot showers), alcohol, spicy food.
Benefits
