Video Summary

The video shows a 68-year-old woman with a non-lifting, non-granular area in her colon. Initial examination indicates a 40% chance of malignancy, but it turns out to be low-grade dysplasia. However, further examination reveals an area of concern for malignancy in the scar tissue, which results in high-grade dysplasia. A full thickness resection is performed using a large cap attached to a colonoscope, allowing for the removal of the lesion. Pathology confirms the presence of intramucosal cancer. The full thickness resection device is described as effective in ensuring clear margins and avoiding unnecessary surgery. The video highlights advanced techniques for treating worrisome lesions. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
