Endoloop-Assisted Polypectomy Technique

Abstract

Endoscopic resection of large pedunculated colon polyps should be preferred over surgical resection; however, it carries the risk of associated significant postpolypectomy bleeding. With advances in endoscopic tools such as endoclips and endoloops, it has become safer to perform endoscopic resection of large pedunculated polyps. Herein are demonstrated some important aspects of the technique for endoscopic resection of a large pedunculated colon polyp. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
