Tu1032 PROPHYLACTIC ENDOSCOPIC CLIPPING HAS A REDUCED RISK OF DELAYED POST-POLYPECTOMY BLEEDING: A META-ANALYSIS INCORPORATING THE 2019 LITERATURE

Prophylactic clipping can decrease delayed post-polypectomy bleeding (DPPB) in large polyps (20mm) resected with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). However, despite the absence of strong evidence demonstrating clinical benefit, endoscopists usually place clips after large polypectomies. For example, multiple studies have shown differing results of clipping versus no clipping to prevent DPPB. Moreover, previous meta-analyses have also generated conflicting conclusions regarding the clinical benefit of clipping to reduce DPPB.
