    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Endoscopic Procedures

    Context:

    • Colon polyps are precursors to colorectal cancer.
    • Traditional surgical removal (laparotomy) carries significant risks.
    • Endoscopic techniques have advanced for polyp management.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the efficacy and safety of endoscopic polypectomy using high-frequency diathermy.
    • To highlight the advantages of endoscopic removal over surgical intervention.
    • To emphasize the prophylactic and therapeutic role of polypectomy in preventing colon cancer.

    Summary:

    • High-frequency diathermy was used for the endoscopic removal of 81 colonic polyps.
    • The procedure demonstrated a high safety profile, with no reported patient risks.
    • Complete polyp removal and histological examination are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Impact:

    • Endoscopic polypectomy has become the standard of care, largely replacing open surgery.
    • This minimally invasive approach reduces patient morbidity and recovery time.
    • Polypectomy serves as a critical preventive measure against the development of colorectal cancer.
