How long can rectal polyps be excised?

Rectal polypectomy takes about one week to one month to recover.

Depending on the size of the polyp, the surgical method, and physical fitness, the specific recovery time varies. If the rectal polyp is small and minimally invasive, it can usually recover in about a week. If the polyp is large or open, complications after surgery may extend the recovery time to about a month.

Patients should pay attention to eating food with little or no residue after surgery to reduce irritation to intestinal mucosa, and take a light diet.
