High-frequency electric surgery via flexible bronchoscope successfully removed a benign bronchial polyp. This endoscopic bronchial polypectomy prevents bleeding and yields large specimens for analysis, unlike traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Polypectomy using high-frequency electric surgery is common for digestive tract lesions.
  • Its application for bronchial lesions remains infrequently reported.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a benign bronchial polyp.
  • The lesion was treated using high-frequency electric surgery via a flexible bronchoscope.

Findings:

  • Successful polypectomy was achieved without complications.
  • This endoscopic bronchial polypectomy prevented bleeding.
  • Large specimens were obtained for histological examination.

Implications:

  • High-frequency electric surgery is a viable and advantageous method for bronchial polypectomy.
