Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hot snare polypectomy, the endoscopist advances the snare sheath, opens the snare and encircles the polyp. The snare is then slowly and progressively closed, with the aim of capturing 1-2 mm of normal tissue around the polyp, then use Electrocoagulation until complete closure is achieved and the polyp is guillotined.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of polypectomies are done with a colonoscope, the device used to perform a colonoscopy. Small polyps are snipped and the tissue removed. Slightly larger polyps are removed using a wire loop that cauterizes the removal site and prevents bleeding.
