Tip 15: Strategies for Injection During EMR | April 2021-Strategies for Injection During EMR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides tips for injecting and resecting lesions during endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) procedures. The first strategy demonstrated is central injection, which involves injecting fluid directly into the lesion so that it sits on top of a dome of fluid, making it more visible and accessible for resection. This is recommended for flat or relatively flat lesions in the 2-4cm size range. The video also discusses proximal edge injection for lesions that are partially invisible due to being draped over a fold. Injecting on the proximal side helps lift the lesion and make it completely visible. The final strategy discussed is the inject and resect method, which involves repeated injections and resections to remove the entire lesion.
