4. Difficult polypectomy
This chapter describes various techniques that can be employed to assist in the removal of colon polyps that are considered to be large or ‘difficult.’ Size alone is only one of the features that may cause some hesitation in making the decision to attempt polyp removal. Other factors that are related to the perceived level of difficulty are polyps that are flat and only slightly elevated above ...
متن کاملAchieving cecal intubation in the very difficult colon.
Cecal intubation is defined as insertion of the colonoscope tip into the cecal caput so that the medial wall of the cecum proximal to the ileocecal valve can be fully inspected. Although colonoscopists outside the United States sometimes undertake colonoscopy without intending to intubate the cecum, the intent to achieve full cecal intubation or reaching an ileocolonic anastomosis is the norm i...
متن کاملColonoscopic Polypectomy
Colonoscopic polypectomy is a major advance in the therapy of colon neoplasms. The techniques for safe and efficient polyp removal are described. The uses of a variety of ancillary devices are discussed, including clips, loops, submucosal injection of fluid, and several thermal probes, including the argon plasma coagulator. The location of a lesion may be difficult to ascertain by intracolonic ...
متن کاملCold snare polypectomy for non-pedunculated colon polyps greater than 1 cm
Background and study aims Colonic polyps > 1 cm in size are commonly managed using hot polypectomy techniques. The most frequent adverse events (delayed bleeding, post-polypectomy syndrome, and perforation) are related to electrocautery-induced injury. We hypothesized that cold resection of large polyps may have similar efficacy and improved safety compared to hot polypectomy. Our aims were to ...

A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for polypectomy because of multiple colonic polyps. He had no history of hemorrhage or abdominal trauma, and was not being treated with anticoagulant therapy. His laboratory results, including coagulation testing, were all normal. A ball-like polyp was identified in the descending colon (●" Fig.1a) and was removed using a snare to leave a 10-mm ped...
