Polyps can be benign, but some can become cancerous, increasing the risk of cancer. Therefore, removal of polyps is an important preventive measure to prevent the development of cancer.

The polypectomy technique depends on the location of the polyp and its size. However, the most common method is to remove the polyp by severing the stalk of the polyp at its base using a wire loop.

After the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort for a few days, but recovery usually takes a short period of time.
