Removal of Rectal Polyps at the "Helуos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Rectal polyps are abnormal growths of tissue that form on the mucous membrane of the rectum. They can be solitary or multiple and vary in size. Some polyps may not cause any symptoms, but they can transform into cancer, so their timely removal is crucial to prevent the development of malignant diseases.

Causes of Rectal Polyps:

Genetic predisposition.
Chronic bowel diseases, such as colitis.
Diet low in fiber and high in fat.
Age over 50.
Smoking and alcohol abuse.
Symptoms of Rectal Polyps:
Bloody discharge from the rectum.
Abdominal pain or discomfort during defecation.
Changes in stool patterns (diarrhea or constipation).
Weight loss or anemia (in rare cases, when polyps transform).

Methods of Removing Rectal Polyps at "Helуos":

Endoscopic Removal (Colonoscopy) This is the most common method of polyp removal, where the doctor uses a colonoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to examine the mucous membrane of the rectum and remove the polyp. The procedure is minimally invasive, does not require hospitalization, and has a short recovery time.
Endoscopic Polypectomy During this procedure, the doctor uses a special instrument to remove the polyps, and electrocoagulation may be used to prevent bleeding.
Laser Removal of Polyps Laser surgery is used to remove polyps with a laser. It is a very precise method, minimizing tissue damage and shortening recovery time.
Surgical Removal (For Large Polyps) In rare cases, when the polyps are large or cannot be removed endoscopically, surgical intervention may be necessary. This is usually done through an incision in the abdominal wall.
