How rectal polyps are treated

Rectal polyps can not be removed by medication, and often require surgical measures such as electrocautery excision, transanal excision, microsurgical excision under anoscopy, and open surgery. 1. Electrocautery excision: for the tip polyps, the location is relatively high, can be in the proctoscope, colonoscopy reveals, electrocautery excision. 2. Transanal resection: for polyps in the lower rectal region, sacral anesthesia, and exposure of the polyp after anal dilation. For pedunculated polyps, the polyp can be removed by pulling with vascular forceps and ligating the base of the polyp. For broad-based polyps, the polyp can be excised including part of the surrounding mucosa, and the incision can be sutured. 3. Microsurgical excision under anoscopy: it is suitable for adenomatous polyps in the upper rectum or early rectal cancer, which can be excised under anoscopy and then suture the wound to avoid bleeding and perforation. 4. Open surgery: it is suitable for cancerous polyps that cannot be removed endoscopically and are located in high position, and broad-based polyps with a diameter larger than 2cm. If malignancy is found during the operation, radical surgery is needed, and postoperative radiotherapy and other treatments. For example, with 5-FU, furanouracil, and so on. If you find rectal polyps, go to the hospital in time for treatment.
