How soon can I be discharged from the hospital after a colonoscopy with polyp removal?

Intestinal polyps can be discharged from the hospital after polyp removal under enteroscopic conditions, which can vary according to the situation, usually in about 1 to 7 days, as follows. 1. Discharged on the same day: for smaller 1~2 pedunculated polyps, you can be discharged on the same day after polypectomy. 2. Discharged on the second day after surgery: for polyps greater than or equal to 3 polyps, or larger polyps, resection is performed, and observation is considered for one day to see if there is any bleeding, and then discharged on the second day. 3. Discharged within 3~7 days: for larger polyps or deeper invasion, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal resection, postoperative hospitalization is required for more than 3 days to prevent bleeding and other phenomena, and can be discharged without special problems. When to be discharged from the hospital after colonoscopy for polyp removal should be based on the doctor’s advice. If you are not feeling well, consult a doctor.
