Why should you choose Hoang Long clinics to remove colon polyps?

A colon polyp is a small clump of cells that forms on the lining of the colon, being categorised as either sessile polyps or pedunculated polyps. They can be characterised as benign or pernicious and have wide differences in size.

Common types of colon polyps

Colon or large intestine is a long, tube-like organ that is connected to the small intestine at one end and the anus at the other. Its main function is reabsorbing the water and electrolytes from digestive residues and transforming them into faecal matter. It will then pass through the rectum and the anus by the gastrocolic reflex and finally be expelled. 

A colon polyp is a small clump of cells that forms on the lining of the colon, being categorised as either sessile polyp or pedunculated polyps. They can be characterised as benign or pernicious and have differences in size. Those polyps that are larger in size will normally have a higher chance to develop into cancerous and could lead to further consequences such as intestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. 

According to the statistics, approximately 90% of colorectal cancer cases were found to propagate from polyps, in addition, colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer types in the digestive tract. Therefore, early removing the polyp has become one of the most effective methods of cancer prevention as it can reduce the risk of developing further complicated consequences and cancer in the future.  

Different methods used in the diagnosis of colon polyps 

• Colonoscopy 

Colonoscopy is considered as the latest and most effective method to detect polyps. Through colonoscopy, the detected polyps will be removed during this procedure. This process also allows doctors to perform a biopsy to find the possible cancerous cells if patients are suspected to have colon cancer. This is a complete test because patients often have more than one polyp and any of them all has possibility to progress to pernicious. 

• Colon X-ray

In addition, to detect colon polyps, doctors may also require patients to take X-rays with the Barium follow through of the colon and thereby, give an appropriate treatment plan according to the results. 

Treatments for colon polyps

When a polyp is detected, doctors will recommend patients to remove it because there is a risk of malignancy when we leave it to progress naturally. Hence, after detecting the polyp’s position and completing patient’s consent, they will perform the polyp removing procedures during the colonoscopy.

Currently, the modern endoscopy systems are equipped with new technologies to provide high-resolution images and the magnified endoscopy helps the medical practitioners to accurately assess the polyp’s boundary and size; predict its possibility of malignancy and select an appropriate removal method. 

Colonoscopy is also considered as a low-risk procedure and time-efficient as it normally lasts about 30 minutes. Moreover, patients will also be anesthetised during the procedure, hence, they are almost pain-free. 

As a result, with this endoscopic intervention method, the procedure will be performed smoothly which allows the patients to recover quickly and can be discharged from the hospital in the same day.
