Among them, nasal and vocal polyp surgery does not affect a person’s diet, in the next day of surgery can eat cake, but need to pay attention to the diet should be moderate, and should pay attention to nutritional balance. Gastric and intestinal polyp surgery can usually be done endoscopically, and gallbladder polyp surgery is mostly performed under laparoscopic conditions.
