How Colonoscopic Polypectomy (Cold/Hot Snare) is performed
This procedure is performed under colonoscopy, with sedation or anesthesia as optional methods. The doctor enters the colon and rectum to assess the lesion. The common practice is to choose cold snare or electrocoagulation snare resection according to the size and shape of the polyp. If necessary, local injection lifting, clipping, or coagulation hemostasis is performed, and the specimen is collected for pathology. Postoperative short-term observation of vital signs and hematochezia is conducted, with the goal of completely resecting suspicious lesions and obtaining histological diagnosis. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
