A 30 mm polyp in the colon is typically removed using a procedure called colonoscopy, during which a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the rectum to visualize the colon. The polyp can be excised using specialized tools such as a snare or electrocautery, which cuts the polyp and cauterizes the tissue to minimize bleeding. In some cases, if the polyp is large or has cancerous features, more invasive surgical techniques may be necessary. Post-removal, the polyp is usually sent for pathological analysis to check for any signs of cancer.
The term for a mushroom-like growth extending on a stalk from a mucous membrane is called a polyp.
