Alternative Endoscopic Resection: Thinking Outside the Box
Every polyp is unique. Every resection technique demands precision.
Today's Clinical Pearl: Advanced Endoscopic Resection Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
Challenging colonic lesions require a nuanced approach beyond traditional snare polypectomy. Today, we're exploring alternative techniques that expand an endoscopist's clinical arsenal.
Key Insights:
- Combo needle-snare devices reduce procedural steps
- Underwater EMR can minimize thermal injury risks
- Knife-assisted resection (CAR) offers enhanced control for complex lesions
- Cap-assisted techniques provide improved visualization and stability
Clinical Considerations:
The traditional triad of endoscopic resection methods—snare polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)—now has sophisticated companions. Consider techniques like underwater EMR or hybrid approaches that combine injection, incision, and strategic resection.
Pro Tip: Master at least two snare types. Lesion morphology dictates technique.
The comprehensive video module breaks down each technique with expert demonstrations, procedural nuances, and pearls from advanced endoscopists.
Precision. Innovation. Expertise.
