Tune in to hear the discussion cover…
• How do you decide whether a polyp is appropriate for cold snare versus hot snare resection? • Should we be getting rid of biopsy forceps as part of polypectomy? • What type of snare is best for cold snaring? • What type of diathermic unit, and with which settings, should be used when hot snaring? • How do you handle polyps with big, thick stalks? • Aside from thermal injury and post-polypectomy syndrome, what else should be a concern with hot snaring? • How do patient factors influence your resection decisions in the colon? • How does a trainee become competent in snare resection of polyps? • And finally, how does Professor Pellise spend her time outside of the endoscopy suite?
