Abdominal distension after intestinal polypectomy may be caused by intraoperative injection of gas into the intestinal lumen, damage to the intestinal mucosa caused by loopers and other devices during intestinal polypectomy, and intestinal function not yet recovered after intestinal polypectomy.
1. Intraoperative injection of gas into the intestinal lumen: Intestinal polypectomy requires continuous injection of gas into the intestinal lumen to dilate the intestinal tube, and the injection of large amounts of gas may lead to postoperative abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite and other symptoms.
2. Damage to intestinal mucosa caused by loopers during the operation: during the process of intestinal polyp resection, it may be necessary to use loopers, thermal biopsy forceps and other instruments, and the heat generated in the process of resection may lead to damage to the intestinal mucosa or even the muscularis propria, which may cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms after the operation.
3. Postoperative intestinal function has not yet fully recovered: laparoscopic surgery or open surgery to remove intestinal polyps will cause some damage to the intestinal tract, the postoperative intestinal function has not yet recovered, intestinal peristalsis is slow, which may result in abdominal distension, constipation and other symptoms.
In the case of abdominal distension after the removal of intestinal polyps, it is recommended to ask the competent physician in time, to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, and to carry out targeted treatment.
