Outcome of Endoscopic Mucosal Resection As an Alternative to Surgery in Patients with Complex Colon Polyps

摘要

Background and AimsPatients with complex colon polyps were traditionally referred for surgery to avoid adverse events associated with endoscopic resection. Recent advances in endoscopic imaging as well endoscopic hemostasis and clip closure allow for the use of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) as an alternative to surgery for such lesions. To determine the outcome of treatment of complex colon polyps with EMR as an alternative to surgery, we conducted a retrospective observational study.
