Question
If a child has a polyp, should it be treated with electrosurgery or surgery, and how should the relevant examinations and treatments be carried out?
Answer
Under general anesthesia with ketamine, the location, size, and nature of the polyp are determined through colonoscopy. The polyp head is directly grasped with a snare device within the endoscopic field, slowly pushed forward to the stalk of the polyp, then tightened while coagulating and cutting the polyp until it falls off.
