Colon polyps are growths on the lining of the colon or rectum. Most are harmless, and that is exactly why they are removed: a proportion of them, left in place for long enough, become colorectal cancer. Taking one out is the single most effective piece of cancer prevention in gastroenterology.
At Lux Hospitals, colon polyp removal costs between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,00,000, depending on how many polyps there are, how large they are, and where in the colon they sit.
Most polyps come out during the colonoscopy that finds them, with no operation at all. Large, flat or awkwardly sited ones need advanced endoscopic resection: a longer, more specialised procedure, and the reason the band reaches as high as it does.
₹1,00,000–₹2,00,000
estimated surgery cost
A single small polyp is snared in seconds. A dozen, or one over two centimetres, is a considerably longer procedure with more consumables.
A stalked polyp is straightforward. A flat one, or one on a bend or behind a fold, needs advanced technique to lift and remove whole.
Every polyp removed goes to the laboratory. That report is what decides your follow-up interval, and it is inside the figure rather than beside it.
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates, and the one thing on this list you choose rather than are assigned.
A longer operation spends more theatre time and more of the anaesthetist’s, and a consultant with more years behind the procedure is charged at a higher rate.
Local, spinal or general. Which one your case needs is a clinical decision, not a preference, and it moves both the drug cost and how long you are monitored afterwards.
We are empanelled with most major insurers and file the pre-authorisation for you, so what is left to pay yourself is known before admission rather than at discharge.
Which of these apply to you is settled at the consultation. Until a surgeon has seen you and your reports, any figure (here or anywhere else) is a range rather than your bill.

|---|---|
| Colon Polyp Removal | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000 |
Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
The figure quoted to you is what leaving the hospital costs, not what entering it does. Everything below is inside it.
Important: Anything outside this list is told to you before it is done, not billed afterwards. If your case needs something the estimate did not allow for, you are asked first.
Your final bill may change if you need additional tests, a procedure for another condition, a longer hospital stay, extra medicines or follow-up care beyond what your estimate includes.
Ask the billing team which charges are included and which may be added based on your treatment needs.
Yes, most health insurance plans cover medically necessary polyp removal. Our team assists with verification and claim support.
Coverage depends on your policy, the treatment approved and the insurer or TPA. Contact the Lux Hospitals insurance desk to check eligibility and understand any expected out-of-pocket cost.
The quality of a colonoscopy is measured by what it does not miss, and that is decided by preparation, time and the person holding the scope.
Most patients go home the same day and are back to normal activity the next. A large resection may mean a day of observation and a few days of dietary care.
