Is it dangerous to remove a piece of stomach meat with a gastroscope?

Gastric meat removed by gastroscopy is usually polyps, and gastroscopy to remove a piece of stomach polyp is usually harmless. Stomach polyps can be divided into benign polyps and malignant polyps, benign polyps need to be removed as soon as possible, malignant polyps need to be removed as soon as possible to determine the degree of malignancy. Benign polyps are abnormal growths of tissue in the stomach, which usually do not invade neighboring tissues and organs, and are small and without obvious stomach discomfort, usually found during gastroscopy. Polyps do not participate in normal stomach function, so there is no harm in removing benign stomach polyps with gastroscopy. Malignant polyps in the stomach are malignant growths that invade the surrounding tissues and need to be partially removed as early as possible to determine the degree of malignancy, otherwise the malignant polyps will gradually turn into tumors. Therefore, gastroscopy to remove part of the malignant polyps is not harmful. It is recommended that when there are polyps in the stomach, treatment should be carried out in strict accordance with the doctor’s recommendations.
