Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses postpolypectomy hemorrhage, which refers to a lower gastrointestinal bleed that requires medical intervention. The incidence of this condition ranges from 0.3 to 6%, and various factors such as technique, anticoagulant use, lesion size, and location can affect the risk. The bleeding can occur immediately after the procedure or up to a month later. Treatment options include injection, thermal therapy, clips, or in some cases, interventional radiology or surgery. Risk factors for delayed bleeding include patient characteristics (such as age, hypertension, and medication use) and polyp characteristics (such as seagull shape, size, and stalk thickness). No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
