Polypectomy is performed to remove polyps, abnormal tissue growths found during a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy, that could potentially become cancerous over time if left in place, particularly adenomatous polyps in the colon. It is also done to relieve symptoms caused by larger polyps or to obtain tissue for diagnosis when a growth's nature is uncertain.

Signs You May Need Polypectomy

Many polyps cause no symptoms at all and are discovered incidentally during routine cancer-screening colonoscopy, which is why regular screening is so important. When symptoms do occur, they can include rectal bleeding, blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, or abdominal pain, particularly with larger polyps.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is polypectomy a major surgery?

No, it is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed during a colonoscopy or endoscopy under sedation, with most patients going home the same day and returning to normal activities within a day or two.

Does every polyp need to be removed?

Most polyps found during screening are removed on the spot regardless of size, since it is not possible to tell for certain from appearance alone whether a polyp could become cancerous over time.

Will I need a follow-up colonoscopy after polypectomy?

Yes, follow-up timing depends on the number, size, and type of polyps removed, and your gastroenterologist will recommend a personalized screening interval, often ranging from three to ten years.

Is polypectomy painful?

No, since it is performed during a sedated endoscopic procedure and the colon lining itself has no pain receptors at the removal site, there is typically no discomfort during or immediately after.

What if the polyp turns out to be cancerous?

If pathology shows early cancer within the polyp, your doctor will discuss whether the polypectomy was sufficient treatment or if additional surgery or monitoring is needed based on how deep the cancer cells extended.
