Video Tip: Polypectomy Post Procedure Pain | June 2021-Polypectomy Post Procedure Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses post-procedure pain in colonoscopy and provides insights on its possible causes and management. It suggests that dull pain may be due to overdistention caused by excessive air or CO2 during a prolonged procedure. On the other hand, sharp pain could indicate perforation or transmural thermal injury. The recommendation is to use CO2 and manage air carefully, insufflating only what is necessary and using suction appropriately. If post-procedure pain persists or there are concerns about perforation, obtaining a CT scan is advised. The video also touches on post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome, its potential causes, symptoms, and treatment, emphasizing the need for monitoring. No credits were provided.
