Successful Rectal Polyp Removal through Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) by Dr. Nikhil Kenny Thomas
Dr. Nikhil Kenny Thomas, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, successfully performed an endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for an elderly patient with a high-risk rectal polyp. The procedure achieved complete en-bloc removal, offering precise, organ-preserving treatment while avoiding major surgery. ESD provides significant advantages for selected patients—especially the elderly—by ensuring accurate histopathology, minimizing recurrence and promoting faster recovery through minimally invasive care.
