MBBS, MD (Gastroenterology), MACG (USA), MRCPS (UK)

Over 13 years performing advanced colonoscopic procedures including Polypectomy and polyp resection.

Patients in Islamabad and Rawalpindi trust Dr. Omer for Polypectomy because he combines diagnostic insight with therapeutic skill. Early polyp detection and removal are critical for preventing colorectal cancer, managing persistent symptoms, and ensuring long-term bowel health through individualised endoscopic interventions.

Dr. Omer's approach to Polypectomy differs by prioritising individualised care from first consultation through final follow-up. Rather than a factory-line hospital setting, his clinic offers unhurried discussions about your symptoms, clear explanations of the procedure, and detailed post-procedure guidance tailored to your recovery.

Understanding The Procedure

Understanding Polypectomy and Polyp Removal

Polypectomy is a minimally invasive colonoscopic procedure in which Dr. Omer identifies and safely removes colonic polyps using snare or advanced resection techniques. It suits patients with detected polyps, family history of colorectal cancer, or abnormal screening results, offering therapeutic and preventive outcomes.

In Simple Terms

During Polypectomy, you lie comfortably under sedation while a thin, flexible colonoscope passes through your colon. Once a polyp is spotted, Dr. Omer uses a wire snare or specialised tool to capture and remove it. Most polyps come away within minutes, and you wake shortly after feeling rested.

Why It Is Done

Polypectomy is recommended when screening colonoscopy finds polyps that may become cancerous, when symptoms suggest a lesion, or for patients with familial polyp syndromes. It prevents colorectal cancer, treats obstruction-causing polyps, and clarifies abnormal bleeding or persistent digestive symptoms.

Who Needs It

Typical Polypectomy candidates include adults over 45 with polyps detected at screening, people with persistent lower bowel symptoms, family history of colorectal cancer, or known conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Age and general health are assessed individually by Dr. Omer.

What To Know

Before Polypectomy, you must fast overnight and complete a bowel-cleansing preparation to ensure clear visualisation. Dr. Omer's team will explain fasting timings, laxative protocols, and medication adjustments. You will receive sedation for comfort and should arrange transport home afterward.

Step by Step

What to Expect During Your Polypectomy

Your Polypectomy journey with Dr. Omer spans arrival, sedation, the procedure itself, immediate findings discussion, and guided recovery at home.

1
Arrival and Preparation

You arrive at Dr. Omer's clinic, complete final paperwork, and meet our nursing team. Vital signs are checked, an IV line is placed, and you discuss last-minute questions in a relaxed environment.

2
Sedation Administration

An anaesthetist or trained nurse administers mild sedation, allowing you to remain comfortable and unaware during Polypectomy. You are monitored continuously for safety, and Dr. Omer waits for you to be fully relaxed before proceeding.

3
Polypectomy and Resection

Dr. Omer gently advances the colonoscope, carefully visualising your colon. When polyps are found, he uses snare polypectomy or advanced resection techniques to remove them safely, taking biopsies if needed for pathology review.

4
Findings and Immediate Review

As you wake, Dr. Omer explains what was found and removed. You receive photo documentation of polyps and resection sites. Biopsy samples are sent to the lab for detailed analysis and future surveillance guidance.

5
Recovery and Follow-up

You rest briefly in recovery while sedation wears off. Dr. Omer provides written post-procedure instructions, dietary guidelines, and a follow-up appointment schedule. You are discharged with clear care directions and direct contact for any questions.
