Intestinal polyp removal, endoscopic view C016 / 8325
Intestinal polyp removal. Endoscopic view of a polyp (centre-right) being removed from the sigmoid colon (large intestine). Polyps are benign (non-cancerous) growths that arise from mucous membranes. Although benign, polyps are generally removed surgically as their growth may obstruct the passage of food, and some polyps may turn cancerous over time

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of intestinal polyp removal through an endoscopic view. Located in the sigmoid colon, a benign polyp is skillfully being extracted by medical professionals. Polyps are non-cancerous growths that originate from mucous membranes, but their presence can lead to food blockages and potential cancer development over time. The image showcases the interior of the human body during this crucial surgical procedure, shedding light on the biology and anatomy involved. The tubular structure of the polyp is clearly visible as it is delicately removed from the colon, highlighting both disorder and abnormality within our biological systems. With its diagnostic imaging qualities, this photograph serves as a valuable tool for gastroenterology and healthcare professionals specializing in colorectal issues. It offers a detailed insight into gastrointestinal tract disorders while emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. GASTROLAB/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this significant moment in medicine, providing an educational resource for those interested in understanding internal procedures related to intestinal health. This print not only showcases scientific advancements but also underscores how medical interventions contribute to maintaining a healthy digestive system.
