Submucosal Injection EMR vs. Underwater EMR for Colorectal Polyps

NCT01712048 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 170

Last updated 2020-02-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two standard methods of polypectomy (polyp removal), submucosal injection-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and full water emersion (without submucosal injection) EMR, for large colorectal polyps.

Conditions

  • Colonic Polyps
  • Rectal Polyps

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Submucosal Injection EMR

Selective saline injection is applied to the layer of tissue underneath the polyp in order to create a "safety cushion" for resection. EMR is then performed with a standard snare.

PROCEDURE

Underwater EMR

Polypectomy is performed under full water emersion without the use of submucosal injection.
