There is a risk of post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) in patients undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy, especially those taking warfarin. Undoubtedly, the use warfarin can raise bleeding, but its withdrawal increases thrombosis. Therefore, management during polypectomy particularly important to balance thrombosis and bleeding. Herein, we reported case due mitral aortic valve replacement who develop...

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 ...

Endoscopic polypectomy has become standard in the management of most polyps gastrointestinal tract, but bleeding is common adverse event. Polypectomy with a cold snare (CSP) been increasingly utilized recent years, further evidence required to establish its safety gastric polypectomy. The aim this study was compare intraprocedure and postprocedure events patients who underwent CSP vs convention...

Background: The frequency of delayed bleeding after colorectal polypectomy has been reported as 0.6–2.8%. With the increasing performance under continuous use antithrombotic agents, care is required regarding post-polypectomy (DPPB). Better instruction to educate endoscopists therefore needed. We aimed evaluate effect and factors associated with endoscopic polyp resection. Methods: This single-...

BACKGROUND/AIM To compare the complete resection rate of hot and cold snare polypectomy for small colorectal polyps. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 233 consecutive patients with 461 colorectal polyps up to 10 mm in diameter that were treated by hot or cold snare polypectomy between April 2014 and August 2016. Lesions treated by hot snare polypectomy (n...

PURPOSE Post-polypectomy bleeding is the most common colonoscopic polypectomy complication. However, the risk of post-polypectomy bleeding in liver cirrhosis is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the risk of post-polypectomy bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 89 patients with liver cirrhosis who received colonoscopic polypectomy between January 2006 and Oc...

BACKGROUND Post-polypectomy hemorrhage is one of the complications of colonscopic polypectomy. And there is no definitive and convenient laboratory test that could be used to predict risk of delayed post-polypectomy hemorrhage. This research aimed to study risk prediction of delayed post-polypectomy hemorrhage using serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level as a marker. MATERIAL/METHODS In a retro...

Background and study aims Colonic polypectomy is acknowledged to be a technically challenging part of colonoscopy. Training in polypectomy is recognized to be often inconsistent. This study aimed to ascertain worldwide practice in polypectomy training. Patients and methods An electronic survey was distributed to endoscopic trainees and trainers in 19 countries asking about their experiences of ...

Background The effect of hysteroscopic polpectomy for endometrial polyps during treatment cycles is still debated and further studies are necessary to evaluate beneficial effect of this procedure. MaterialsAndMethods This matched case-control study compared retrospectively 86 women with and without hysteroscopic polypectomy who underwent in vitro fertilization and / or Intracytoplasmic sperm in...

Different methods such as standard, hot, and jumbo forceps are used in endoscopic treatment of diminutive colon polyps. In the current study, it was aimed to compare efficacy and safety of standard and jumbo forceps polypectomy methods in treatment of diminutive colon polyps of 5 mm. Polyps with 5 mm which were excised during colonoscopy by using standard or jumbo forceps were evaluated. Standa...
