The work done by a machine is the output energy provided by the machine in an intended task, while the work done on a machine is the input energy required to operate the machine. The work done by the machine should ideally be greater than the work done on the machine to ensure efficiency.
The unit for work done is the joule (J).
In a thermodynamic process, the work done on the system is equal and opposite to the work done by the system. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy, where the total work done in a closed system remains constant.

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.

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. In some cases, a hysteroscopy may be used to assist in visualizing and removing the polyp. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for removing a large cervical polyp.
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.
