Anal Polyp Excision Surgery is a procedure designed to remove abnormal tissue growths, or polyps, from the anal canal. These growths, while often benign, can cause discomfort and may have the potential to become malignant if left untreated.
The procedure is performed using a minimally invasive approach, such as electrocautery or endoscopic removal, depending on the size and location of the polyp. Local or general anesthesia is typically used to ensure patient comfort.
Postoperative care includes pain management, maintaining proper hygiene, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Patients are also advised to follow up with regular screenings to monitor for recurrence or new growths.
Anal polyp excision benefits patients by preventing complications and alleviating symptoms. This effective intervention ensures a safer and more comfortable outcome for those affected by polyps.
