PolyPectomy

  • The removal of a polyp is called a polypectomy and can be achieved by using a variety of instruments through channels of the endoscope.
  • If a polyp is found on the left side of your bowel, there is a higher chance of you having polyps on the right side of your bowel. As a flexible sigmoidoscopy does not reach the right side of your bowel, you may be asked to return on another day for a full colonoscopy, if a polyp is found. A colonoscopy allows the entire large bowel to be examined and any further polyps to be removed.

Patient preparation for the procedure

Preparation for Polypectomy is sae as in Colonoscopy is a liquid diet for 24 hrs and followed by a Bowel preparation using Polyethylene Glycol(PEG) (Available as PEGLEC, COLOCLEAN, COLOWASH etc). Around 150 g of PEG is mixed into 2 Liters of Water to be taken in 2hrs. This is to be followed up by another 2 liters of fluid intake.
