About the Procedure
Polypectomy is the endoscopic removal of polyps — small growths on the lining of the colon or stomach that can become cancerous over time if left untreated. Performed during a colonoscopy or endoscopy using a wire loop or specialized forceps, the polyp is removed and sent for pathology testing, all in a single outpatient visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I know beforehand if I need a polypectomy?expand_more
Not always — polyps are frequently found and removed during a routine colonoscopy or endoscopy, on the spot.
Do all polyps need to be removed?expand_more
Most polyps found during screening are removed as a precaution, since it's not possible to tell if a polyp is precancerous just by looking at it.
