Tip 20: The Pivot Maneuver in Snaring | May 2021-Tip 20: The Pivot Maneuver in Snaring

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the pivot maneuver technique used during polypectomy procedures. The technique is employed when the polyp tissue is longer in a transverse direction than in a longitudinal direction. The purpose of the maneuver is to increase the amount of tissue snared at once and potentially obtain a larger lesion. By pivoting the snare from right to left, the snare tip is anchored a few millimeters distal to the polyp, allowing the snare to be turned over the polyp tissue. This technique is particularly useful for lesions that are longer in the transverse direction. The video serves as a demonstration of the pivot maneuver technique in different scenarios. The video is from the ASGE SuTab tip of the week.
