Summary

Bleeding is the most common complication associated with polypectomy of large pedunculated colonic polyp. Although several techniques have been developed to minimize bleeding, none of these methods has become the gold standard. To prevent post-polypectomy bleeding effectively, the investigators developed and attempted a new endoscopic technique for removal of large long-stalked pedunculated colonic polyps using band ligations. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel technique using endoscopic band ligation for removal of long-stalked pedunculated colon polyps.

Conditions

  • Colonic Polyp

Interventions

DEVICE

Endoscopic band ligation assisted polypectomy

A conventional upper endoscope loaded with a band ligator was inserted in the colon and was advanced to the site of the pedunculated polyp. After approaching the lateral side of the stalk and grasping the mid-portion of the stalk using a tripod grasper. Then, the rubber band was released from the cap to ligate the stalk. Thereafter, we performed polypectomy of the remaining stalk just above the ligation by extending the electrosurgical snare.
