Tip 7: Cold Resection of Large Lesions Beginning with SSL | February 2021-Cold Resection of Large Lesions Beginning with SSL

Cold Resection of Large Lesions Beginning with SSL

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of cold techniques, specifically cold EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection), for the removal of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) in the gastrointestinal tract. SSLs are flat and subtle lesions that can be missed during screening, leading to interval cancer. The video emphasizes the importance of accurately identifying and counting SSLs, as well as recognizing serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS), which increases the risk of interval cancer. Cold EMR is shown as a safe and effective method for removing SSLs without the use of electrocautery. The video also notes that more research is needed to compare different resection techniques. No credits were provided in the transcript.
