Peter Holt taught me, and he showed us videos of some of his electrocautery techniques. He was pretty aggressive! Seen alot of laser cautery via endoscopy, a rep showed us bladder tumour removal and again, they take away a lot.

many thanks for replies I will look at that paper, i removed largest mass with electrocautery and sent for histo and was polypoid tissue and by 10 days had regrown , maybe i was not aggressive enough.

Are you sure they are polyps rather than neoplasia? As far as I remember there can be a spectrum from purely inflammatory to neoplastic.

Not a medication but there was a good lecture at BSAVA a few years ago by Peter Holt (Bristol). He was describing a technique of electrosugical coagulation via endoscopy which seemed to give good results in dogs which would have otherwise been inoperable

Hi,

i had a similar case one month ago i removed the polyp most of them are just superficial in the mucosa you don't have to go deep in the other stractures.

The lab sugested to use piroxicam, ca be used after or before surgeries there are some reports sugesting that will cure the polyp.

The dose for piroxicam is 0.3 mg/kg daily.

Cheers,

Nelu
