Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the difficulty endoscopists face when locating EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) scars. They explain that it is easier to find scars when there are still attached clips, but about two-thirds of the time there is no clip artifact. The speaker suggests opening the original EMR report and studying it to find clues about the location of the scar, such as the presence of tattoos or detailed descriptions. They also emphasize the importance of distending the colon fully to identify scars, as well as looking for disruption of normal fold structures. The video concludes by mentioning that the next topic will be clip artifact.
