Titanium clips in the stomach mostly fall off on their own without treatment, and a very small number of people who have not fallen off for a long time need to be removed endoscopically.
In the clinical gastroscopy if found gastric polyps, can be directly in the endoscopic forceps polyps, the wound site after surgery often use titanium clamps closed, so that can achieve the purpose of hemostasis, conducive to wound healing.
Titanium clips in the stomach do not need to be treated, generally speaking, after a certain period of time, the titanium clips will fall off by themselves, and then along with the digestive tract into the large intestine, and the stool together with the body, will not cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. The use of titanium clips in surgery can significantly reduce the probability of postoperative bleeding and increase the safety of gastroscopy.
If the titanium clip does not come off after six months to one year, it is recommended to remove it under gastroscopy. The reason why the titanium clip does not fall off for a long time may be that the titanium clip is too strong; on the other hand, it may be that the local tissues expand significantly when the titanium clip is clamped, resulting in adhesion between the titanium clip and the tissues.
It is recommended to take drugs to protect the gastric mucosa after gastroscopy, such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, etc. You can also take gastric mucosa protectors, such as aluminum sulfate tablets, bismuth potassium citrate, etc.. The above drugs must be taken under the guidance of a doctor, do not take on your own.
