Do children with rectal polyps 1.5 cm need treatment?

Rectal polyps of 1.5 centimeters in children are usually necessary for treatment.

For those above 0.3 cm, further management is recommended. Generally, the vast majority of rectal polyps are benign, while rectal polyps of 1.5cm are relatively large and need to be dealt with, this treatment does not require open surgery, the polyp can be found under the colonoscope, and the polyp is lifted up the mucosa, and then set on the base of the trap device, and then resected with electrocautery, this is a minimally invasive treatment, will not have too much impact on the trauma.
