Abstract

Introduction: Free-hand snare mucosectomy is currently the preferred ablative method for slightly raised colonic adenomas, but it is technically difficult and has a high incidence of residual lesions and bleeding. EMR-C has been described as risky. Data on EMR-C for FCP are limited. Aim: Evaluate the safety and efficacy of EMR-C in removing FCP. Methods: Retrospective review of all flat (defined as entirely or mostly flat) polyps referred for endoscopic ablation from 1/2007-11/2008. Results: 50 patients with FCP were referred and EMR was attempted in 49 sessions (including 2 F/U EMR for incomplete removal).
