Tip 23: The Relative Roles of the Cap Technique and Avulsion during EMR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the use of the CAP (circular snare-assisted polypectomy) technique and avulsion in treating a fibrotic lateral spreading lesion in the rectum. The speaker explains that the CAP technique is used initially to remove most of the polyp, as avulsion would be time-consuming due to the extensive surface area. However, some areas of the lesion are resistant to the CAP technique and require avulsion. The speaker also mentions the use of injection and snare resection, followed by margin treatment using APC (argon plasma coagulation) or snare tip. The video concludes with a preview of the upcoming tip on avulsion technique during EMR. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
