Diagnostic Options

Thorough diagnostics at the clinic include:

Treatment Methods Available

Treatment depends on the polyp's size, type, and location.

• Polyp removal during colonoscopy (Polypectomy). This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. It removes polyps found during the diagnostic exam. The price typically runs from $700 to $1,000 and includes the polypectomy and anesthesia.
• Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR). This technique is for larger or more complex polyps. It removes the abnormal tissue while preserving healthy intestine. EMR requires a short 1–2 day hospital stay and may cost around $1,000 and up.
• Colonoscopy with advanced polyp removal. For very complex cases, an advanced endoscopic removal is available. This procedure may cost between $4,000 and $6,000.
• Total colectomy with ileoanal anastomosis. This major laparoscopic surgery is for severe polyposis. It involves removing the entire colon. The comprehensive package costs about $16,500. It includes the surgery, a 10-day hospital stay for the patient and a companion, ICU care, and all necessary pre-operative tests and pathology.
