English translation:surgical removal of a polyp

Explanation:
(If you want to know if they always need to be removed or not, you'll have to ask a doctor. I don't think this is the place to make a medical consultation...)

I've heard my dad do this kind of operation thousands of times. Nowadays, and meeting certain conditions, it can be also done by laparoscopically (or key hole surgery).
