In a randomized controlled trial (RCT) performed in Brazil, 120 colorectal lesions with a mean size of 17.5 mm were randomized to underwater endoscopic mucosal

Median Thickness of Submucosa in the Resected Specimen Is Less With Underwater Than Conventional EMR for Polyps <20 mm
The thickness of submucosal tissue resection can be important for predicting whether the resection margin and submucosal assessment will be adequate when there is suspicion
Cutting Plane Between Underwater and Conventional EMR Is Similar
Randomized controlled trials (RCT) show that underwater EMR (UEMR) is more likely than conventional EMR (CEMR) to result in en bloc and R0 resection for
Underwater EMR Outperforms Conventional EMR for 20- to 40-mm Nonpedunculated Polyps in Randomized Controlled Trial
In a single-center randomized controlled trial from Germany, 148 nonpedunculated lesions 20 to 40 mm in size were included in a per-protocol analysis and randomized
Another Study Supports Underwater Versus Conventional Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Lesions ≥10 mm
Recent randomized controlled trials found that underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) results in more en bloc resections and faster resection for flat and sessile colorectal
