Abstract
Screening and surveillance colonoscopy with removal of precancerous colon polyps has greatly reduced colon cancer morbidity and mortality and has become an important part of China's new strategy for colon cancer prevention. Colonoscopy with polypectomy could lead to complications such as post-polypectomy hemorrhage and incomplete polyp removal contributing to interval colon cancer development. Polypectomy techniques play an important role. The evolution of different polypectomy techniques and their advantages and disadvantages have been reviewed to help readers choose and apply the best suitable ones for their individual patient situation toward safer and more efficacious colonoscopy polypectomy.
期刊介绍:
Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery aims to provide an academic exchange platform for minimally invasive surgery at an international level. We seek out and publish the excellent original articles, reviews and editorials as well as exciting new techniques to promote the academic development.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
▪ Minimally invasive clinical research mainly in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Colorectal Surgery, Otolaryngology, etc.;
▪ Basic research in minimally invasive surgery;
▪ Research of techniques and equipments in minimally invasive surgery, and application of laparoscopy, endoscopy, robot and medical imaging;
▪ Development of medical education in minimally invasive surgery.
