Colonic polyps need surgery?

Colonic polyps

are usually small and scattered, and if they are less than 0.5 cm in diameter, they do not need to be treated. If they are larger than 1 cm in diameter, they may cause colonic obstruction, and endoscopic ligation or resection of the polyps is recommended. In addition, if the adenomatous polyps are larger than 1 cm or 1.5 cm in diameter, surgery is recommended. If the pathology report after surgery shows malignancy, endoscopic or laparotomy surgery is also required, local bowel resection or other extended radical surgery.
