Removal of precancerous lesions during colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality [1]. Recent data have highlighted that interval CRC occurs despite previous colonoscopy. Incomplete removal of polyps is one of the factors leading to interval CRCs [2]. Incomplete polypectomy of sessile serrated polyps (SSPs) is four-fold higher than that of conventional adenomas [3] and ...

BACKGROUND Detection, treatment, and subsequent screening of patients with colorectal polyps have considerable implications for public health. Understanding the natural history of colorectal polyps from biologic and health care services standpoints is critical in determining optimal treatment. METHODS Using computerized data from a large Midwestern health maintenance organization, we identifi...

Metachronous colorectal tumors are common colonoscopic finding. Metachronous colorectal adenomas are detected in 20-70.3% of patients, but metachronous colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in 0.5-9% patiens. In this prospective study, 120 patients (80 male, 40 female, mean age 57.9, range 31-77) were evaluated for metachronous tumors after colonoscopic polypectomy for benign single/multiple colorectal tu...

The clinical profile, malignant potential, and management of 17 children with juvenile polyposis (more than five juvenile polyps) were evaluated clinically and endoscopically. Colonoscopy and polypectomy were done three weekly until colonic clearance was achieved, and thereafter two yearly. All polyps were subjected to histological examination. Mean age was 7.7 years, with a male preponderance ...

BACKGROUND Some studies have shown that endoscopist specialty is associated with colorectal cancers missed by colonoscopy. We sought to examine the relationship between endoscopist specialty and polypectomy rate, a colonoscopy quality indicator. Polypectomy rate is defined as the proportion of colonoscopies that result in the removal of one or more polyps. METHODS A cross-sectional study was ...

To study the effect of endometrial polyps in infertility patients and their insinuation pregnancy rates undergoing ICSI-FET cycles following polypectomy. This is a retrospective 345 attending Reproductive center Sudha Hospital, Erode. Infertile women with diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound were subjected to hysteroscopic Vitrified embryo transfer was done one three months polypectomy clinical...

a middle age woman was hospitalized for investigation of a mobile filling defect in the stomach with exacerbation of 3-year gastric symptoms. gastroscopy revealed a huge pedunculated polyp. histologic report of the mass was gastric antral lipoma. since the patient refused surgery, cauterization polypectomy was performed without any complication.

Polypectomy is the standard therapy for gastrointestinal pedunculated polyps [1]. However, achieving effective countertraction to snare the stalk of the polyp located in the direction of gravity can sometimes be difficult [2]. Herein, we present a case of a large gastric polyp located on the greater curvature of the gastric body that was resected using the “water immersion” technique in order t...
