Background Complications of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large colorectal polyps remain a concern. Objective We aimed to compare safety and efficacy of cold EMR (without electrocautery) to ...

A recent MD Anderson study also showed that more than 75% of patients with complex colon polyps could avoid surgery with ESD. endoscopic full-thickness resection is another minimally invasive ...

Cold endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) showed a superior safety profile over traditional hot EMR for large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps measuring ≥ 20 mm, with significantly lower risks of ...

Background Lesion size is an independent risk factor for recurrence following endoscopic mucosal resection of large (≥20 mm) non-pedunculated colorectal polyps. Post-resection margin thermal ablation ...

Interest in cold endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for treating colorectal polyps has been gaining traction, as a recent meta-analysis published in the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy journal highlighted ...

Complete removal of large polyps (>10 mm) is crucial to prevent progression to CRC. Piecemeal resection during endoscopic procedures can increase the risk of recurrence.

Complete removal of large polyps (>10 mm) is crucial to prevent progression to CRC. Piecemeal resection during endoscopic procedures can increase the risk of recurrence.

Cold and hot endoscopic mucosal resection have comparable efficacy for sessile serrated colorectal polyps 10 mm or larger. Cold endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has similar efficacy compared with ...
