Aim. To examine optimal timing for resuming antithrombotic agents and risk factors for delayed bleeding after endoscopic resection of colorectal tumors. Method. Of 1,970 polyps larger than 10 mm removed by polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, or endoscopic submucosal dissection, delayed bleeding, which was designated as bleeding that occurred 6 or more hours after endoscopic treatment, oc...

BACKGROUND Foreign body (FB) in the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT) is a common clinical problem in endoscopic practice. At present, many physicians recommend endoscopy for both diagnosis and treatment. To date, few have report endoscopic findings and management of FB in UGIT. OBJECTIVE To report the authors' experience and outcome of the endoscopic management of foreign body ingestion at...

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 ...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the prevalence of polyps and their treatments. Materials Method This is a retrospective study conducted in our department over 20 years 3 months between January 2000 March 2021. All patients with colorectal who underwent endoscopic resection were included. We evaluated techniques management complications. Results The total number was 273, mean age 57.26 ± 14.058 (...

Endoloop-assisted polypectomy may minimize the risk of bleeding after endoscopic resection of large pedunculated colorectal adenomas [1–3]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a rare complication of this technique caused by adhesion of the snare and endoloop. A 67-year-old man was referred to our endoscopy unit for polypectomy of colorectal adenomas detected during a colon...

The majority of ingested foreign bodies will pass safely through the gastrointestinal tract, but long and rigid foreign bodies are associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal impaction, perforation and bleeding. However, large foreign bodies which have been swallowed can remain trapped in the stomach over a longer period of time without any significant symptoms. This case report descr...

Most ingested foreign bodies will pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract. Nevertheless, long and rigid foreign bodies are associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal impaction, perforation and bleeding. Moreover, there has been no case of spontaneous passage of a toothbrush reported. Therefore, the prompt removal of such ingested foreign objects is recommended before com...

Granular cell tumor (GCT) was first described by Abrikossof in 1926. This tumor is a benign neoplasm of unclear histogenesis that is generally believed to be of nerve sheath origin. GCT is not common and most often affects the tongue, skin, and soft tissue, although it may occur anywhere in the body. Gastrointestinal tract involvement, and especially that of the colon, is very rare. This usuall...
