Thermal treatment of the margin of piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) defects is now considered an effective treatment for reducing recurrences. Some practitioners have adopted the recent evidence for snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) of the margin, whereas some prefer argon plasma coagulation (APC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A systematic review and meta-analysis identified 10 studies about thermal ablation of mucosal defect margins, including 3 on APC, 6 on STSC, and 1 comparing both treatments. In total, there were 316 APC cases and 1598 STSC cases. The overall risk of recurrence was reduced by 84% with STSC and 74% with APC, compared with no treatment. Absolute rates of recurrence were 19.6% with no treatment, 9% with APC, and 4% with STSC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
