Sa2035 LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF ADVANCED COLON POLYPS REMOVED USING ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL STRIPPING (EMS)

Postpolypectomy bleeding and incomplete polyp removal are important complication and quality concerns of colonoscopy for colon cancer prevention. Endoscopic mucosal stripping (EMS) is a modified extension of traditional cold snare polypectomy to avoid submucosal injury during removal of non-pedunculated colon polyps. We previously demonstrated EMS could potentially eliminate postpolypectomy bleeding, especially for advanced colon polyps, and facilitate complete polyp removal based on polypectomy site biopsy and short-term follow-up colonoscopy (1,2).
