00:00.840 --> 00:03.380
Treatment for colon polyps is removal

00:03.380 --> 00:05.400
of the polyps called polyp ectomy ?

00:05.410 --> 00:07.630
Doctor Patel . Can you tell us about

00:07.630 --> 00:09.950
politic to me ? Sure , Major spencer .

00:09.960 --> 00:12.310
In most cases polyps are removed with

00:12.310 --> 00:14.532
tools inserted through a channel in the

00:14.532 --> 00:16.143
Colonna scope at the time of

00:16.143 --> 00:18.310
colonoscopy , some of these tools look

00:18.310 --> 00:20.530
like little pinchers or a lasso polyp

00:20.530 --> 00:22.770
removal does not cause discomfort .

00:22.780 --> 00:24.836
Sometimes , however , a polyp is too

00:24.836 --> 00:27.280
large to remove completely at one time .

00:27.290 --> 00:29.440
In these situations , a patient may

00:29.440 --> 00:31.162
have to come back for a second

00:31.162 --> 00:33.051
colonoscopy or undergo surgery to

00:33.051 --> 00:35.240
remove the entire polyp . Yeah .
