Polypectomy in Maharashtra

Types of Polypectomy

Cold snare or hot snare polypectomy uses a wire loop passed through the endoscope to cut off the polyp, with or without electrical current to control bleeding, and is used for most small to medium polyps. Endoscopic mucosal resection is used for larger, flatter polyps, lifting the tissue with fluid injection before removal, while endoscopic submucosal dissection is reserved for even larger or more complex polyps requiring more precise, layer-by-layer removal.
