Colonoscopic polypectomy is a cost-effective endoscopic procedure for removing colonic polyps. This review covers endoscopic approaches and challenges in managing these polyps, which can potentially become cancerous.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Colonic polyps are common gastrointestinal growths.
  • Adenomatous colonic polyps have a significant potential for malignant transformation.
  • Most colorectal cancers originate from adenomatous polyps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review basic features of endoscopic approaches for colonic polyps.
  • To discuss challenges and problems associated with colonoscopic polypectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on fiberoptic endoscopy and colonoscopic polypectomy.
  • Discussion of endoscopic techniques and associated complications.

Main Results:

  • Colonoscopic polypectomy is an established, simple, and cost-effective method for polyp removal.
