Difficult Colon Polyps and How to Remove Them

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video is a lecture on the techniques for removing large colon polyps. The speaker discusses the different types of polyps, such as pedunculated and sessile polyps, and provides tips for assessing and removing them. For pedunculated polyps, the speaker suggests using epinephrine injections and endoloops to prevent bleeding. For sessile polyps, the speaker recommends using a distal attachment to help capture the tissue and remove it in sections. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of not biopsying or tattooing difficult polyps, as this can make it harder for future procedures. Overall, the lecture provides valuable insights and techniques for managing large colon polyps.
