What are the surgical options for rectal polyps

Rectal polyps are treated by surgical methods including high-frequency electrocoagulation loop resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, open surgery, and laparoscopic surgery.
Patients with rectal polyps need to choose the appropriate resection method according to the size of the polyp. If the diameter of rectal polyps is relatively small, you can take high-frequency coagulation coil resection, biopsy forceps removal method, electrocoagulation excision and other ways of treatment. If the patient has a large rectal polyp, endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection are needed to remove the rectal polyp.
If the patient has a huge colon polyp that cannot be completely removed by colonoscopy, or if the patient has a huge rectal polyp near the anus, the doctor will remove the polyp through open or transanal resection, or laparoscopically remove the polyp and the surrounding intestinal tubes.
It is recommended that patients with rectal polyps need to seek timely medical treatment, and the doctor will choose a targeted surgical method according to the patient’s condition.
