What is Polypectomy?
💡 Polypectomy is hysteroscopic removal of a uterine polyp. It is a short outpatient procedure that significantly improves implantation rates and is recommended before IVF or IUI in all women with confirmed intrauterine polyps.
Polypectomy is the surgical removal of a uterine polyp. In fertility medicine, it is performed hysteroscopically — the hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix and the polyp is removed under direct vision using a resectoscope or mechanical device. No incisions are required. Office polypectomy without general anaesthesia is increasingly used for small polyps. Polypectomy is indicated for all intrauterine polyps before IVF embryo transfer, before IUI, or in women with unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriage. Evidence shows significant improvement in pregnancy rates after polypectomy.
🇮🇳 India Context: Polypectomy is widely assessed and treated across major Indian fertility centres including Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad.
Risks and considerations
⚠️ Rare: uterine perforation (<1%), infection, intrauterine adhesions. Histology may rarely reveal atypical hyperplasia requiring further management. Always discuss risks with your fertility specialist before treatment.
