Gastrointestinal (GI) polyps are a common type of digestive disease in clinical practice. They are abnormal growths in the digestive tract often triggered by inflammatory stimuli and carry a risk of becoming cancerous. In recent years, changes in lifestyle and dietary habits have led to a steady increase in the incidence of this condition. Early-stage GI polyps typically present no obvious symptoms, though patients may experience abdominal discomfort or changes in bowel habits.
As the disease progresses, symptoms such as rectal bleeding and vomiting may occur, reducing quality of life and increasing the risk of malignancy, thereby posing a threat to life. Currently, the primary clinical treatment involves endoscopic removal using a high-frequency electrosurgical unit (HFU), which allows for complete resection of the lesion and helps control disease progression.
Compared to open surgery, gastrointestinal endoscopy is much less invasive. However, standard endoscopy may still cause discomfort such as nausea and vomiting, which increases patient anxiety and may hinder the procedure.
The development of painless GI endoscopy—where anesthetics are administered before the procedure—has significantly reduced patient discomfort and postoperative pain. In their article "Clinical Observation on the Treatment of GI Polyps with High-Frequency Electrosurgical Unit under Painless Endoscopy", published in Modern Diagnosis and Treatment, researchers Chen Minggui and Wu Shunü studied 80 patients with GI polyps. Their findings showed that HFU treatment not only effectively resects lesions and controls bleeding but is also adaptable, easy to introduce into the body, and allows for detailed observation of the affected area. As such, it has become a widely used and effective method in clinical practice.
The emergence of gastrointestinal endoscopy technology has greatly improved the direct observation of lesions. Compared with traditional examination methods, it allows for more accurate identification of the location, extent, and number of lesions. However, conventional endoscopic interventions may cause discomfort during swallowing, increase procedural difficulty, and risk mucosal injury or bleeding.
Painless gastrointestinal endoscopy-assisted surgical treatment reduces the use of anesthetics, slows down gastrointestinal motility, and facilitates a cleaner incision. Under anesthesia, muscle tissues relax, which helps minimize surgical stress responses and lowers the risk of postoperative complications. This approach effectively removes diseased tissue and improves the patient’s quality of life.
In summary, for patients with gastrointestinal polyps, painless high-frequency electrosurgical treatment under endoscopy has proven to be effective, enhances quality of life, and is worthy of clinical adoption.
