- Polyp resection during endoscopy can be challenging, especially for 6-10mm polyps.
- Injecting saline can help reshape the polyp, making it easier to perform a complete resection with clear margins.
- Using a snare to grab the polyp ensures enough margins are taken.
- Histologic confirmation is needed to confirm the lesion is gone.
- Complete pathologic resection with clear and lateral margins is critical.
- The resection method should be individualized based on patient and polyp characteristics.
- There are multiple resection methods available, including suction and snare.
- Remote cautery can help eliminate potential residual neoplasia.
