Difficult Colon Polypectomies

April 6, 2014 updated by: dr. Theodor Alexandru Voiosu, Clinical Hospital Colentina

An Observational Study of Difficult Colonic Polypectomies

The investigators aim to define the concept of difficult colonic polypectomy and investigate whether resection methods (hot/cold snare, Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)), adjuvant techniques (endoloop, prophylactic hemoclip placement, submucosal injection) and operator experience have an impact on polypectomy outcomes and complication rate.
