Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses snare selection and snaring tips for polypectomy and EMR procedures. They explain that for cold snaring, using dedicated cold snares with reduced wire diameter is preferred as they cut better, although standard diminutive snares can be used. The speaker emphasizes the importance of finding the right degree of distention and amount of tissue to avoid drag and mechanical pulling through the snare. For hot EMR, stiff snares are recommended for better tissue grip. Snare size should generally be limited to 15-20mm to minimize the risk of muscle injuries. The speaker also discusses snare control and discretion in taking smaller pieces during the procedure.
