1. Polypectomy: During a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, a doctor can remove polyps using a wire loop or snare and sometimes with the assistance of an electric current (electrocautery). 2. Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR): For larger polyps, this technique involves injecting a solution beneath the polyp to lift it and then cutting it out. 3. Surgical Removal: In cases where polyps are too large or numerous to be removed endoscopically, surgery may be necessary, involving partial or complete resection of the affected segment of the colon.
