Do you want to be hospitalized after rectal polyp operation

Hospital admission is usually required after rectal polyps surgery.

Although minimally invasive surgery is the main choice for rectal polyps, such as endoscopic polypectomy or ligation, there are still many treatment measures after surgery, such as prevention of infection, prevention of bleeding, close observation of vital signs and abdominal signs, so it requires hospitalization for a period of time. In addition, the length of hospital stay is not fixed. If it is minimally invasive surgery, it usually requires about 7 days in hospital, because stool, diet and activities are basically normal after 7 days. If it is laparoscopic assisted or open rectal polypectomy, the length of hospital stay may be about 2 weeks.
