Tip 22: Using the Cap Technique for Flat and Fibrotic Disease During EMR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of the CAP technique in endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) procedures. The CAP technique involves placing a snare over target tissue, approaching closely, suctioning the tissue up into the CAP, closing the snare, and then releasing the suction. The video demonstrates the use of the CAP technique in various scenarios, including removing flat or fibrotic tissue that resists traditional snaring approaches. It also highlights the potential efficiency of the CAP technique in these cases. The video concludes by mentioning the complementarity of the CAP technique and avulsion in EMR procedures.
