How are large cervical polyps removed?

Large cervical polyps are typically removed through a procedure called a polypectomy, which can be done in an outpatient setting. The polypectomy may be performed using a gentle twisting motion to detach the polyp from the cervix or by using a specialized instrument to cut the polyp and remove it.
