What is Colonoscopy & Polypectomy?
Colonoscopy & Polypectomy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure in which a flexible camera-equipped scope is passed through the rectum to examine the entire colon and remove any abnormal growths (polyps) found during the examination. It is used both for screening/diagnosis of colorectal conditions and for therapeutic removal of polyps to prevent progression to colorectal cancer. The procedure is typically performed under sedation and is completed within a day.
Who may be considered?
Colonoscopy & Polypectomy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A conventional colonoscopy under conscious sedation, with small to medium-sized polyps removed using a wire snare or biopsy forceps in the same sitting.

Recovery and follow-up
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours after standard polypectomy, while EMR patients are advised to rest for about a week and avoid strenuous activity, spicy food, and blood thinners as instructed. Follow-up colonoscopy is usually recommended in 3-5 years, or sooner depending on histopathology findings.
Risks
Potential risks include bleeding, bowel perforation, infection, and reaction to sedation, with slightly higher risk during larger polyp removal or EMR. Serious complications are uncommon and are carefully monitored during and after the procedure.
Alternatives
Alternatives include CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) for diagnosis without polyp removal, or surgical colon resection for very large, flat, or cancerous polyps unsuitable for endoscopic removal. Stool-based screening tests may be used for initial risk assessment but cannot remove polyps.
