    Colonoscopic polypectomy effectively removes numerous schistosomal polyps with few complications. This endoscopic treatment offers significant symptom relief, matching surgical outcomes for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Parasitology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Schistosomal polyps are a significant cause of morbidity.
    • Current treatment options may involve invasive surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of colonoscopic polypectomy for schistosomal polyps.
    • To compare colonoscopic polypectomy outcomes with traditional colonic excision.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 20 patients with schistosomal polyps underwent colonoscopic polypectomy.
    • A total of 404 polyps were removed during the study period.

    Main Results:

    • Colonoscopic polypectomy was feasible and associated with minimal complications.
    • Significant reduction in rectal bleeding was observed in 50% of patients.

  • The remaining patients experienced minimal residual symptoms.

    • Conclusions:

    • Colonoscopic polypectomy is a safe and effective treatment for schistosomal polyps.
    • Endoscopic removal provides comparable results to colonic excision.
    • This minimally invasive approach improves patient outcomes and symptom management.
