ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Leveraging New Advances to Improve Patient Outcomes (Live and Virtual) | May 2024-Preventing the Post-Polypectomy Bleed

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Kevin Woods presented on preventing post-polypectomy bleeding, discussing considerations before and after lesion removal in the GI tract. He emphasized monitoring for complications, including bleeding and incomplete resections, and highlighted factors like polyp size and location that increase risk. The use of snare polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection techniques were demonstrated, with a focus on techniques like cold versus hot snaring based on lesion size. The importance of prophylactic clipping for larger polyps over 20mm to prevent bleeding was discussed. Additionally, suturing techniques were shown to effectively close mucosectomy sites for large polyp resections. Overall, Dr. Woods highlighted risk factors, appropriate techniques, and advancements in endoscopic tools for safer polypectomy procedures.
