Polypectomy is a commonly performed maneuver in colonoscopy with the goal of complete removal of the polyp.  As with any invasive procedure, adverse events may occur.  During this webinar, we will review common adverse events related to polypectomy (including but not limited to bleeding, pain, and perforation) and discuss approaches for preventing and managing these events.

• Recognize and identify adverse events related to polypectomy
• Distinguish normal post-polypectomy site appearance from abnormal site appearance
• Summarize polypectomy techniques for preventing or minimizing adverse events
