Abstract
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a widely-used technique which is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for treating superficial neoplasms of the colon. It is particularly useful for removing colonic polyps which are difficult to remove by conventional snare polypectomy. These include large, sessile and flat colonic polyps. The removal of large colonic polyps during endoscopy raises a number of concerns, including the risk of the procedure and the possibility of inadequate polypectomy. In order to avoid major complications such as perforation, adequately trained experienced endoscopists should perform this procedure. In this article, an overview of the technique, indications and complications associated with this technique will be provided.
