Do stomach polyps require hospitalization for surgery?

Whether a gastric polyp requires hospitalization for surgery should be determined by the condition. If there are multiple large gastric polyps and they are fundal polyps, hospitalization for surgery is recommended. If it is a single polyp with a small diameter, outpatient treatment is recommended. The indications for surgery for gastric polyps are: (1) non-tibial or broad-based polyps larger than 2 centimeters; (2) progressive enlargement of polyps; (3) adenomatous polyps with heterogeneous hyperplasia on pathologic examination, suspected of carcinoma and cancer. Gastric fundus polyps are recommended to choose hospitalization for surgical treatment, because the mucosa of the gastric fundus is relatively thin, and there may be a risk of perforation in outpatient treatment. Multiple gastric polyps, you can choose to go to the hospital for electrocoagulation and electrosurgery. Single gastric fundus polyps with a size of 4mm or less usually do not require surgical treatment, but can be sent for pathologic examination through biopsy forceps under outpatient gastroscopy conditions. Whether stomach polyps need hospitalization for surgery should be strictly in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, and after the surgery, you need to choose a liquid diet, and also need to take medication under the guidance of the doctor to reduce more hidden dangers.
