Join us for a deep dive into the cutting-edge world of polyp reshaping in colonoscopy. In this episode of The Gastroenterology & Endoscopy Podcast, we explore how these advanced techniques are transforming colorectal cancer prevention.
Key Topics:
The Evolution of Polyp Management
From "detect and excise" to a nuanced, multifaceted approach
Balancing precision, risk minimization, and colonic function preservation
Cornerstones of Effective Polyp Reshaping
Advanced classification systems: Paris classification and beyond
Cutting-edge imaging techniques: NBI, CLE, and pit pattern evaluation
The importance of size stratification and location considerations
Revolutionary Reshaping Techniques
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR): Injection-assisted, cap-assisted, and underwater variants
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD): Achieving en bloc removal of large lesions
Full-Thickness Resection (EFTR): Tackling lesions involving the muscularis propria
The Future is Now: Emerging Technologies
