Polypectomy

Polypectomy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed to remove abnormal growths called polyps from the inner lining of the colon or stomach. These polyps can be benign, precancerous, or occasionally cancerous. Timely removal is essential to prevent progression to colorectal cancer, making polypectomy a vital part of preventive gastrointestinal care.

At Ballari Health City, Dr. Mansoor Ali K, a highly experienced gastroenterologist, performs polypectomies with utmost precision and care using advanced endoscopic techniques. The procedure is often done during a colonoscopy or upper GI endoscopy, depending on the location of the polyp.

Dr. Mansoor Ali uses a specialized endoscope equipped with a camera and tools like snares or forceps to excise the polyps safely. The excised polyps are then sent for histopathological examination to determine their nature and decide on further treatment or surveillance needs.

Polypectomy is typically done under sedation, ensuring a pain-free experience. The procedure usually takes 20–60 minutes depending on the number and size of polyps. Patients are observed for a few hours post-procedure and can usually return home the same day.
