A member asked:
Can removing a colon polyp 2-3 cm in size hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You'll get Medicated: You'll be anesthetized, whether the polyp is removed through the scope or through a surgical procedure. Most importantly, it needs to come out, be tested, and you be treated effectively based on the results.
