What is polyectomy?

Polyectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of multiple polyps, which are abnormal growths that can develop in various organs, most commonly in the colon. This procedure is often performed during a colonoscopy to prevent the potential progression of polyps into cancer. Polyectomy helps in managing conditions like familial adenomatous polyposis and other polyposis syndromes. Recovery typically depends on the number of polyps removed and the individual's overall health.
