Preventing Post-polypectomy Bleed

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video sponsored by Braintree discusses risk factors in endoscopic polyp removal. Factors include male sex, hypertension, and polyps larger than 10mm on the right colon. The discussion covers using ESD and EMR techniques in removal, with a preference for cold snare for polyps under 10mm. Prophylactic clipping may not benefit smaller lesions. Through-the-scope suturing is safe with a high success rate, especially for lesions over 20mm. The speaker thanks their team, City of Hope, and Therapeutic GI for their support.
