Everyone performing EMR in the colorectum encounters flat or fibrotic polyp tissue that resists standard snaring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a multicenter European study, 70 nonlifting polyps with a median size of 25 mm were treated with EMR using a cap on the end of the endoscope. The cap was positioned to extend about 4 mm beyond the end of the scope. Areas that resisted the cap method were treated with avulsion (n=8), ablation (n=6), or both avulsion and ablation (n=7). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The overall success of complete tissue removal was 97.1%, the overall recurrence rate at follow-up was 19%, and the rate of delayed bleeding was 8.8%. Complications included 1 transmural perforation (type 4 muscle injury) and 4 target signs (type 3 muscle injuries). All of the muscle injuries were closed with through-the-scope clips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
