Video Summary

Dr. Faux discusses the use of soft-tip coagulation at the margins after polypectomy. If already using heat, he will do it, but if not, he usually cold snare around the margins. He mentions that biopsying the edge of the polyp seems to be effective in preventing recurrence. He also discusses his approach to EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) during colonoscopy. He does not consent patients separately for EMR and prefers his patients to be awake enough to move and hold their breath during the procedure. He also mentions incorporating EMR into the standard colonoscopy consent at his ASC. Dr. Conda discusses tissue cipher, a commercially available test for risk stratification in Barrett's esophagus. He finds it useful in cases of low-grade dysplasia and indeterminate or non-dysplastic Barrett's that may have high-risk features.
