Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses two techniques, water floating and retroflexion, for the resection of lesions on the ileocecal valve. Water floating, also known as underwater EMR, involves removing gas from the colon and filling it with water to make the lesion more accessible. Retroflexion is a technique where the scope is bent back to examine lesions in hard-to-reach areas. The speaker emphasizes the importance of scope selection and provides tips for successful resection of ileocecal valve polyps. Overall, these techniques can be valuable for accessing difficult-to-approach lesions in various parts of the colon.
