For duodenal polyps, we should judge whether to perform surgical resection according to the size of its growth and whether it has the tendency to develop cancer.
1. The size of growth: the size of duodenal polyp determines its impact on the body, if its volume is small within 1cm, generally no need for surgical resection, its impact on the body is small. If it is larger than 2cm, it is easy to affect the body. Polyps larger than 2cm can easily lead to intestinal obstruction, dyspepsia and other diseases, which need to be removed in time.
2. Whether there is cancer or not: it is the most important indication whether the duodenal polyp needs to be removed or not, if the polyp has adenomatous lesions, it indicates that the polyp has malignant tendency, and it is likely to encroach on the surrounding tissues and grow, so it needs to be removed in time to prevent it from further cancer.
Patients should consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
