Polypectomy is a surgical procedure to remove colon or rectal polyps using Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) or Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD). Both methods involve an endoscope for visual access and specialized tools to precisely excise the polyp while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Polypectomy aims to prevent complications like cancer, as well as improving symptoms from polyps, such as gastrointestinal bleeding.
