Difficult Colon Polypectomies

An Observational Study of Difficult Colonic Polypectomies

The investigators aim to define the concept of difficult colonic polypectomy and investigate whether resection methods (hot/cold snare, Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)), adjuvant techniques (endoloop, prophylactic hemoclip placement, submucosal injection) and operator experience have an impact on polypectomy outcomes and complication rate.

Inclusion Criteria:

• colonic polyps that are deemed difficult to resect by the endoscopist

Exclusion Criteria:

• patient refusal to participate in the trial
