Can intestinal polyps be operated on together with hemorrhoids?

Whether an intestinal polyp can be operated on together with a hemorrhoid depends largely on factors such as the distance between the polyp and the hemorrhoidal mass, and the nature of the polyp. If the distance between the intestinal polyp and the hemorrhoidal mass is relatively close, such as in the case of rectal polyps, the two can be operated together. Hemorrhoid surgery surgical field of vision and operation range is usually located in the rectal part of the anal canal, in the polyp and hemorrhoidal block of the location of the closer, in the same surgical field of vision and operation range, can be at the same time will be polyp excision, but should be good preoperative preparation and postoperative observation. If the distance between the intestinal polyp and the hemorrhoidal mass is farther away, such as when the colon polyp, the two can not be operated together. The surgical method for colon polyps is radiofrequency treatment through an electronic colonoscope, which requires access to the inside of the intestinal lumen for radiofrequency removal. Air will remain in the intestinal lumen and there is a possibility of pain or bleeding, at which point hemorrhoid surgery can no longer be performed. In addition, the two cannot be operated on together if there is a possibility that the intestinal polyp is cancerous. If a patient is diagnosed with both intestinal polyps and hemorrhoids and needs surgery, he or she should go to the hospital and be advised by a doctor to determine a specific treatment plan.
