Polyp resection in the colon and rectum is the removal of benign or precancerous growths that grow in the lining of the large intestine. This procedure, also called a polypectomy , is commonly performed during a colonoscopy using special tools such as forceps or a snare that cuts the polyp at its base. Remember that polyps are the most common cause of colon and rectal cancer.

It is performed under sedation, which means the patient will be asleep and in a deep sleep. They will not feel any discomfort, pain, or other discomfort. It is not general anesthesia.

Biopsies may be taken during the procedure for analysis. Polyps will be sent to pathology for microscopic examination, which incurs an additional cost of $800 pesos.
