The previous removal of a polyp in the sigmoid colon has left a mark on the skin.
The choice between polypectomy and dilation and curettage (D&C) depends on the medical context. Polypectomy is a procedure to remove polyps, often used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, especially in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding or precancerous lesions. D&C, on the other hand, is used to clear the uterine lining, often after a miscarriage or for diagnostic purposes like obtaining tissue samples. The best option varies based on the individual’s condition and the underlying reason for the procedure.
The surgical removal of a uterine fibroid (a leiomyoma) is a myomectomy.
It would depend on the area of the polyp and the level of care required to complete it. If you don't have a CPT book, get one and check out Surgery and then the area of the polyp.
