What Is Polypectomy Surgery?

Polypectomy is a medical procedure used to remove polyps, which are small growths that can appear on the lining of the uterus, colon, or rectum. The procedure is typically performed using a colonoscope; a long, flexible tube with a camera and light on the end. It is inserted into the rectum and used to visualize the inside of the colon. Polypectomy can be done in a doctor's office in an outpatient setting and is usually performed under sedation. The removed polyps are then examined under a microscope to determine if they are benign or cancerous.

Diagnostic Tests and Polypectomy Surgery Procedure

Diagnosis Tests Before Polypectomy Surgery

Before undergoing a polypectomy, a patient typically undergoes a colonoscopy, a diagnostic test that allows the doctor to examine the inside of the colon and rectum using a flexible tube with a camera and light on the end. This test is used to locate any polyps present and to check for other potential problems, such as bleeding, inflammation, or tumors. The patient may also be required to prepare for the colonoscopy by following a specific diet and/or taking a laxative or other medication to clear the colon. The patient may also need to undergo blood tests to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that may affect the surgery.

Apart from this, your healthcare provider is likely to suggest the following diagnostic tests to understand the severity of the condition:

  • Transvaginal ultrasound
  • Endometrial biopsy
  • Hysteroscopy
  • Pelvic exam

Polypectomy Surgery procedure

Uterine Polypectomy is a surgical procedure to remove abnormal growths called polyps from the uterus lining. The procedure is typically performed using hysteroscopy, a diagnostic and surgical technique that allows the doctor to visualize the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted telescope-like instrument called a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the cervix.

The procedure is usually done under general or spinal anesthesia, and the patient will be placed in a lithotomy position. The hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus, and the polyps are visualized and removed using special instruments such as forceps or a loop electrode. Depending on the size, location, number of polyps, and the patient’s condition, the procedure may be performed as an outpatient procedure or may require an overnight stay in the hospital.

After the surgery, the patient will be monitored for a short period of time and then discharged. Recovery time is relatively short, but some cramping and mild bleeding may occur. The patient will be advised to avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and heavy lifting for a week or two and follow up with the doctor in a few weeks to check on the healing process and to ensure that all polyps have been removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to recover after polypectomy surgery?

Women usually start feeling better within the first week following surgery. However, the doctor recommends taking some precautions, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects and avoiding sexual intercourse for the first week for a quicker recovery. 

Is polypectomy a major surgery?

A polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure. Most polypectomies don’t require cutting into your body to access the polyp. They can usually be managed internally, with medical instruments passed through the natural openings in your body.

What size polyp requires surgery?

Generally, the larger the polyp, the more likely it is to become cancerous eventually. As a result, large polyps (larger than 5 millimeters, approximately 3/8 inch) are usually suggested to be removed completely to prevent cancer and are sent for microscopic examination to guide follow-up testing.

How fast can a polyp become cancerous?

In most cases, polyps grow slowly and take between 10 and 15 years to become cancerous. Due to this general time frame, most screenings are scheduled every 10 years, which gives colorectal surgeons time to remove any polyps before they become cancerous.

What Precautions Do I Need To Take After Polypectomy Surgery?

After a polypectomy surgery, there are several precautions that patients should take to ensure proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications. Some of these precautions may include:

  • Avoid strenuous activities: You should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and other activities that strain the abdominal area for a period of time after the surgery.
  • Eating a high-fiber diet: You should enrich your diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote regular bowel movements and reduce constipation risk.
  • Monitoring for signs of infection: You should watch for signs of infection, such as fever, redness, or discharge from the surgical site, and contact your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
  • Following up with the doctor: You must typically attend a follow-up appointment with your doctor a few weeks after the surgery to check on the healing process and ensure that all polyps have been removed.
  • Avoid sexual intercourse or using tampons for a week or two as per the doctor’s advice.

It is important to make it to all follow-up appointments and follow the doctor’s advice to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.
