Video Tip: To Treat or Not to Treat? | December 2022-To Treat or Not to Treat?

Video Summary

This video tip, sponsored by Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, discusses the presence of a white protruding tissue after the removal of a seven millimeter adenoma during a Coltsner resection. This tissue, referred to as a cold snare protrusion or semicosal cord, is actually semicosal tissue that gets gathered up in the snare during polyp removal. It is more likely to occur with larger polyps and greater deflation. Studies have shown that it rarely contains residual polyp and sometimes has muscularis mucosa. The correct approach is to leave this tissue alone as it does not need cauterization.
