HCC 1472-12b-Foreign Body Retrieval - net and snare movie

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of a retrieval net and a snare for foreign body retrieval. The retrieval net is similar to a snare but has an attached meshed net. It is commonly used to retrieve large polyps that cannot be suctioned through the biopsy channel. The net should be opened and closed slowly to avoid catching on to the mucosa or clips. It can also be used to remove food boluses and coins. The snare is used for removing polyps and foreign bodies. It should be maneuvered carefully in difficult portions of the colon to avoid losing the polyp. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of properly handling the devices. No credits were mentioned.
