Surgeons at Ichilov Clinic Top successfully remove intestinal polyps using modern laparoscopic methods, which significantly reduce the patient's hospitalization time. Often, the procedure for removing the detected polyp is performed during a scheduled intestinal examination, so the gap between diagnosis and treatment is virtually non-existent.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Intestinal Polyposis at Ichilov Top Medical Center
Removal of intestinal polyps can be performed simultaneously with the patient's examination. In complex cases (for example, with multiple polyposis), surgical intervention is performed separately.
Ichilov Top performs the following surgical interventions:
- Removal of the polyp during colonoscopy.
- If there are contraindications to removing the polyp during colonoscopy (low blood clotting, multiple polyps grouped in a specific area of the intestine, etc.), laparoscopic surgery is performed, involving resection of the section of the intestine along with the polyps. The operation is conducted by a highly qualified surgeon specializing in these types of surgeries.
The patient must stay in the country for 7 – 10 days. This period includes the time for examination and treatment.
