Session 7 - Evidence Based Lecture - Does the Data Determine Which Resection Method to Use

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the challenges of determining which resection method to use in endoscopy procedures. They emphasize the importance of considering the individual lesion, the available options, and the expertise of the medical professional performing the procedure. The speaker also highlights the risk of occult malignancy and how it varies based on the location of the colon polyp. They mention different resection techniques such as conventional EMR, ESD, cold EMR, underwater EMR, and hybrid ESD. The speaker provides an opinion on the use of these techniques for colon and rectal polyps based on current evidence, but acknowledges the need for more high-quality data. The overall message is that endoscopic resection is superior to surgery for polyps, but the choice of technique should be based on individual factors and careful consideration.
