Video Summary

Ampullary adenomas are benign neoplasms that can potentially become malignant and often require removal. The preferred method of removal is endoscopic ampullectomy, which involves confirming the presence of adenomatous tissue, assessing if ampullectomy is appropriate for the patient, performing EUS to check for ductal extension, and then proceeding with the resection using a snare. It is important to capture the resected tissue, assess for perforation, and stent the pancreatic and common bile ducts. Post-procedure, it is necessary to check for bleeding and provide appropriate treatment, such as rectal nonsteroidals.
