Медицински третмани

• Polyps are not treated with drugs. They are removed by surgery.
• Minor surgery and cauterization. Most polyps can be removed at the same time as the colonoscopy, by cutting them off at the base. Then they are systematically sent to a laboratory to be examined and to know if they were precancerous or cancerous. The intervention is painless, since the wall of the intestine is insensitive to touch and is performed under general anesthesia.
• хирургија. In the event of polyposis, when the polyps are very numerous, it is sometimes necessary to resort to surgery (laparotomy) to remove a piece of colon.
