Most colon polyps can be removed endoscopically during a colonoscopy. Some polyps are too large to remove endoscopically and may require surgery. A very small number of people have a genetic disease that results in thousands of polyps that would require surgery even when the polyps are small.

Yes colon polyps can be removed but whether or not they need to be is a question for your gastroenterologist.
