BACKGROUND AND AIM The ideal method to remove small colorectal polyps is unknown. We compared removal by colon snare transection without electrocautery (cold snare polypectomy) with conventional electrocautery snare polypectomy (hot polypectomy) in terms of procedure duration, difficulty in retrieving polyps, bleeding, and post-polypectomy symptoms. METHODS Patients with colorectal polyps up ...

Endoscopic polypectomy has become standard in the management of most polyps gastrointestinal tract, but bleeding is common adverse event. Polypectomy with a cold snare (CSP) been increasingly utilized recent years, further evidence required to establish its safety gastric polypectomy. The aim this study was compare intraprocedure and postprocedure events patients who underwent CSP vs convention...

BACKGROUND Septate uterus is the most common uterine anomaly and a cause for miscarriage and infertility. Existing data suggested a better reproductive outcome of uterine septum following hysteroscopic septum resection. OBJECTIVE Current study was administered to share our experience in hystroscopic septum resection for reproductive outcome following hysteroscopic treatment of uterine septum ...

Background: The frequency of delayed bleeding after colorectal polypectomy has been reported as 0.6–2.8%. With the increasing performance under continuous use antithrombotic agents, care is required regarding post-polypectomy (DPPB). Better instruction to educate endoscopists therefore needed.

OBJECTIVE The automated gravitational Vario Flow system with weighing-based electronic fluid deficit indicator was used in order to reduce the risk of fluid intravasation during continuous flow hysteroscopic procedures. Early experiences are reported. METHODS Between August 1996 and July 1997, the Vario Flow with fluid deficit indicator and alarm system was used in 203 hysteroscopic operation...
