Here is a list of key learning points from the video:<\/h6>\n
\n
Evaluation of Demarcated Area: The demarcated area can provide important clues about the presence of submucosal invasion. The irregular or disrupted demarcation may indicate deeper tissue involvement and a higher likelihood of malignancy.<\/li>\n
Matching the Polyp to the Endoscopist: It is crucial to consider the expertise and skill set of the endoscopist when determining the appropriate management approach for a polyp. Not all polyps are equal, and their characteristics may vary in terms of size, location, morphology, and complexity.<\/li>\n
Choosing the Appropriate Technique: When approaching the management of a polyp, it is important to carefully consider the characteristics of the polyp and select the most appropriate technique for its removal. Factors such as size, location, morphology, histology, and the endoscopist's expertise should be taken into account.<\/li>\n
Snare Selection: The use of braided snares is preferred over monofilament snares for polypectomy due to better application of diathermy and the need to clean carbonized tissue off the snare tip.<\/li>\n
Assessing Scars: When evaluating scar tissue for recurrence, look for a pale area without large vessels in the center, with a pit pattern that is more open and larger than the surrounding mucosa.<\/li>\n
Surveillance: Regular surveillance is essential for detecting recurrence within scars. The negative predictive value of endoscopic assessment is high when performed by experienced practitioners, but biopsies can still be performed for confirmation.<\/li>\n
Competency and Referral: Expert centers should handle the first follow-up surveillance at 6-12 months for higher-risk cases while referring lower-risk cases back to the primary endoscopist. Competence in assessing and treating scars is crucial to avoid unnecessary procedures.<\/li>\n
Diathermy Settings: Understanding the settings on the diathermy generator is important. The yellow and blue pedals indicate mixed coagulation and cutting currents, with soft coag being the purest coagulation current for margin ablation.<\/li>\n
