Polypectomy
Polypectomy
Polypectomy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to remove abnormal tissue growths, known as *polyps*, from the lining of the colon, stomach, or other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Polyps are often benign but can sometimes develop into cancer if left untreated.
The procedure is typically performed during a colonoscopy or endoscopy using specialized tools. It allows the doctor to safely remove the polyps and send them for further examination to rule out malignancy.
At Medicover Hospital, Dr. Akshay Kulkarni specializes in advanced endoscopic techniques that make polypectomy safe, precise, and virtually painless, ensuring quicker recovery and minimal discomfort.
When Is Polypectomy Needed?
Recognizing symptoms and early screening are key to preventing complications.
Rectal Bleeding
Presence of blood in the stool may indicate colon polyps or other GI issues.

Constipation, diarrhea, or stool shape changes may signal polyp growth.
