Hysteroscopic Polypectomy
A no-incision procedure to remove uterine polyps directly from inside the uterine cavity using a hysteroscope — relieving abnormal bleeding and improving fertility without any external cuts.
What is Hysteroscopic Polypectomy?
Hysteroscopic polypectomy is the minimally invasive removal of uterine (endometrial) polyps using an operative hysteroscope introduced through the cervix. It is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic uterine polyps causing irregular or heavy bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, or implantation failure. The procedure is performed as a day case under direct hysteroscopic vision, ensuring complete removal and allowing histological confirmation of the polyp type. Dr. Ashwani Narla performs hysteroscopic polypectomy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, with precision and same-day discharge.
Suitable for women with confirmed or suspected uterine polyps on ultrasound causing abnormal bleeding, infertility, or recurrent implantation failure, where hysteroscopic access and removal is clinically appropriate.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Cervical Dilation
General or local anaesthesia is administered. The cervix is gently dilated to allow the operative hysteroscope to pass into the uterine cavity.
Cavity Inspection
The entire uterine cavity is inspected systematically under direct vision. All polyps are identified and their number, size, and base documented.
Polyp Removal
Polyps are resected at their base using scissors, a bipolar electrode, or a tissue morcellator, ensuring complete excision including the polyp stalk.
Cavity Re-inspection
After removal, the cavity is re-inspected to confirm all polyps have been fully excised and to check for any additional pathology.
Recovery & Discharge
The procedure is completed as a day case. Tissue is sent for histopathology. Most patients are discharged within a few hours of recovery.

Diagnostic evaluation: Ultrasound, hysteroscopy, blood tests, or other investigations may be recommended before treatment.
- →
Surgical technique: The equipment and technique used for hysteroscopic removal can influence the overall treatment expenses.
- →
Anesthesia and hospital care: Anesthesia, day-care or admission charges, medications, monitoring, and recovery care may contribute to the total cost.

Pathology examination: Removed polyp tissue is generally evaluated to determine its nature, and pathology charges may be included in the overall expenses.
Is Hysteroscopic Polypectomy Covered by Insurance?
Hysteroscopic polypectomy may be covered by health insurance when it is considered medically necessary for treating uterine polyps or related symptoms such as abnormal bleeding. Coverage depends on the patient's policy, inclusions, exclusions, and pre-authorization requirements. The hospital's insurance support team can assist with documentation and guide patients through the applicable cashless or reimbursement process.
