The removal of a polyp is called a polypectomy. This procedure can be performed during a colonoscopy or other endoscopic procedures, where the polyp is excised for further examination. Polypectomies are commonly done to prevent the potential development of colorectal cancer.

Ablation and laser removal of a polyp are related but not exactly the same. Ablation generally refers to the process of removing or destroying tissue, which can be done through various methods, including laser, radiofrequency, or cryotherapy. Laser removal specifically uses concentrated light beams to target and destroy the polyp. While laser removal is a form of ablation, not all ablation techniques involve lasers.
By which method was the removal done, and how many polyps? Need more clarification to assign one of the following appropriate CPT codes:45308 = removal of single tumor, polyp, or other lesion by hot biopsy forceps or bipolar cautery45309 = removal of single tumor, polyp, or other lesion by snare technique45315 = removal of multiple tumors, polyps, or other lesions by hot biopsy forceps, bipolar cautery or snare technique
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.
