Is removing colon polyps dangerous?
Removing colon polyps by colonoscopy is usually not dangerous. However, if the polyp is too big to be removed by colonoscopy then it will require surgery to remove. Is it dangerous? Well, it is a major operation. It does require removing part of your colon which does carry risks of things like bleeding, infection, and leaks at the anastomosis (where the colon is reconnected). But it’s better than the alternative which is leaving in a polyp that could potentially turn into cancer. I hope this helps. READ MORE

How long does it take to heal from abdominal hernia surgery?
