What polypectomy is
Polyp removal is not an automatic decision
Polypectomy removes one or more polyps using instruments during a procedure when their features allow. It often accompanies colonoscopy, which views the colon and rectum.
The procedure's name alone does not determine suitability. Reports, existing tests and assessment clarify findings and what needs review before deciding.
Lesion assessment
Polyp features guide the option considered
Polyps differ. Information gathered before and during examination guides options and next steps.
Number, size, shape and location
Each lesion's features change investigation and treatment discussion.
Lesion appearance
Direct observation provides details guiding the approach considered.
History and clinical context
Previous results and personal or family history also inform assessment.

Removal during an endoscopic procedure
