Thermal coagulation of the normal-appearing margin using snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) treatment after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been shown to reduce recurrence rates after piecemeal EMR of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps to the range of 2% to 5%. Hybrid argon plasma coagulation (H-APC) is a technique combining injection and APC in the same probe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this uncontrolled study, EMR was performed on 101 colorectal lesions with a median size of 30 mm (range, 20-60 mm). Patients underwent H-APC to treat the margin in all cases and, at the discretion of the endoscopist, part or all of the base of the lesion. The recurrence rate at follow-up was 2.2% (2 of 91).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
