Video Tip: Cold Biopsy of Lesions | November 2022-Cold Biopsy of Lesions

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video tip sponsored by Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, presents a case of a 46-year-old woman undergoing surveillance colonoscopy. She has a history of adenomas in her distal colon. The video highlights two lesions - a small diverticulum and a polyp with a slit - located at different areas in the colon. The woman has a history of surgeries, including a total abdominal hysterectomy and an operation for severe vesico-ureteral reflux. The lesions are relevant due to the increased risk of cancer around the surgical sites, necessitating surveillance and biopsy. It is emphasized that snare resection is not appropriate for these sites.
