Tezpur Medical College & Hospital (TMCH) has reached a major milestone in specialized surgical care. On September 4, 2026, the hospital’s Department of General Surgery successfully performed its first-ever Endoscopic Polypectomy.
What Is an Endoscopic Polypectomy?
An endoscopic polypectomy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to remove polyps—abnormal tissue growths that can form in various parts of the body. Because some polyps have the potential to become cancerous over time, removing them early is essential for prevention and treatment.
Using an endoscope allows doctors to locate and remove these growths without needing conventional open surgery.
Key Benefits for Patients
- Minimally Invasive: Avoids major surgical incisions, leading to faster recovery times and less pain.
- Cancer Prevention: Early removal of polyps significantly reduces the risk of future complications.
- Care Closer to Home: Patients across Tezpur and surrounding areas now have access to specialized care without needing to travel to larger distant centers.
This successful procedure marks a major step forward in strengthening healthcare infrastructure and expanding modern surgical options in Assam.
