Mo1679 PATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF RESECTED POLYPS IDENTIFIES FEATURES PREDICTIVE OF POST-POLYPECTOMY BLEEDING

Post-polypectomy bleeding is a known complication of polyp resection. Cold snare polypectomy is associated with reduced bleeding compared to snare cautery, but the degree of tissue injury and its impact on post-polypectomy bleeding have not been elucidated. The aim of this study is to identify and quantitate the histological differences in snare cautery, cold snare polypectomy and identify polypectomy tissue injury features associated with post-polypectomy bleeding.
