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.

The best option varies based on the individual’s condition and the underlying reason for the procedure.
