Polypectomy in dogs and cats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polypectomy<\/strong> represents the surgical removal of polyps. In our clinic we remove polyps using minimally invasive method – endoscopic<\/strong>. During endoscopic procedures, such as colonoscopy, polyps can be removed by forceps that are introduced through the endoscope. Larger polyps may be removed using the loop around the base of the polyp, after which the cauterizing is executed in order to prevent bleeding.<\/p>\n

The polyp<\/strong> is an abnormal mass of tissue that grows into and out of the mucous membranes inside the animal’s organism. The polyps have the potential to be malignant, and therefore in the event of their occurrence should be removed.<\/p>\n

Polyps are commonly found in the colon, stomach, uterus, bladder and nasal cavity<\/strong>, but can also be found in the ear canals as well as on any other surface of mucosal mucous membranes (Figure 1). The most common occurrence of polyps is not accompanied by specific symptoms, so they can remain undetected until specific diagnostic review of the patient, such as colonoscopy, rhinoscopy, gastroscopy etc. Once you identify the body recommended their removal. Even if the biopsy is satisfied that the non-cancerous they always have the potential to become, if not removed.<\/p>\n

After removing polyps from the body, they are sent for further histopathological examination, to determine whether there is in them cancerous or precancerous cells. After the result obtained the owner of the patient will be informed, and if it turns out to be malignant polyp will be invited for further testing.<\/p>\n

Bearing in mind that, generally, polyps are asymptomatic, owners must keep in mind that it is sometimes necessary to perform a general health check on their pet for early diagnosis of any pathological changes.<\/p>\n

Nasal polyps in dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nasal polyps (Figure 1) relating to the protruding pink polypoid growths are usually benign, which grow out of the nasal mucous membranes – the moist tissue that lines the nose. Symptoms that occur as a result of the development of polyps in the nose remind and mimic diseases such as colds, but can not be withdrawn solely giving antibiotics.<\/p>\n
