aim :  the aim of this study was to present the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with gastric polypoid lesions and to study the histopathologic features of these lesions. background : the frequency of gastric polyps is gradually increasing due to the widespread use of endoscopic examinations. patients and methods : clinical and endoscopic features of 100 gastric polyposis pa...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Delayed colonic postpolypectomy bleeding is the commonest serious complication after polypectomy. This study aimed to utilize massive sampling data of polypectomy to analyze risk factors for delayed postpolypectomy bleeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS The endoscopic data of 5600 patients with 15553 polyps removed (2005 to 2013) were analyzed retrospectively through univariate ana...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Colonoscopic polypectomy is a valuable procedure for preventing colorectal cancer, but is not without complications. Delayed bleeding after colonoscopic polypectomy is a rare, but serious complication. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of delayed bleeding after colonoscopic polypectomy. METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted in a single unive...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the rate of morbidity and mortality associated with colorectal polyps after the next 8-years period of endoscopic polypectomy, in a high risk managed care population. MATERIAL AND METHOD Cohorts of 77 subjects with benign neoplasms were identified with a colonoscopy in 1999. Three groups of subjects: benign neoplasms with polypectomy, benign neoplasms without polypectom...

PURPOSE A colonoscopic polypectomy is an important procedure for preventing colorectal cancer, but it is not free from complications. Delayed hemorrhage after a colonoscopic polypectomy is one infrequent, but serious, complication. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage after a colonoscopic polypectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective case-control study...

Colonoscopic polypectomy is a major advance in the therapy of colon neoplasms. The techniques for safe and efficient polyp removal are described. The uses of a variety of ancillary devices are discussed, including clips, loops, submucosal injection of fluid, and several thermal probes, including the argon plasma coagulator. The location of a lesion may be difficult to ascertain by intracolonic ...

UNLABELLED Endoscopic polypectomy of colorectal polyps is a common procedure. However, endoscopic treatment of large polyps (those with a diameter exceeding 2 cm) remains questionable. There is a serious risk of colorectal carcinoma presence inside these lesions, which eventually would require surgical intervention. Apart from this fact endoscopic polypectomy of large polyps is connected with s...

Introduction The prevalence of colorectal neoplasms is approximately 30-40% in asymptomatic average-risk Koreans, which is comparable with the rate in Western countries. Although colonoscopic polypectomy can decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer, polypectomy and the ensuing pathologic examinations are major determinants of the cost. However, pathologic examinations are used only for deter...
