Polypectomy is a specialized medical procedure for the removal of polyps—abnormal tissue growths, in the digestive tract, most commonly in the colon or stomach. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a skilled gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert polypectomy services to prevent potential complications such as cancer and promote long-term digestive health.
Polyps are growths that develop on the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and may be benign or have the potential to become cancerous over time. Polypectomy involves the safe removal of these polyps using endoscopic techniques during procedures like colonoscopy or upper GI endoscopy.
Removing polyps early helps reduce the risk of colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers, making polypectomy an essential preventive treatment.
Common reasons for polypectomy include:
Detection of polyps during routine screening colonoscopy or endoscopy
Polyps causing symptoms such as bleeding or changes in bowel habits
Polyps with suspicious features that require removal and biopsy
Types of polyps commonly removed:
Adenomatous polyps (precancerous)
Hyperplastic polyps (usually benign)
Inflammatory polyps associated with IBD
Dr. Sarang Mahanaik performs polypectomy at Apple Hospital, Indore, using advanced endoscopic tools. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under sedation for patient comfort.
During polypectomy, polyps are carefully excised and sent for histopathological examination to determine their nature. The procedure not only treats existing polyps but also helps in preventing cancer development.
If you have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal polyps or require screening, consult Dr. Sarang Mahanaik in Indore for professional polypectomy services. Early removal of polyps is crucial for maintaining digestive health and preventing serious complications.
