Comparison between Endoloop-Assisted Endoscopic Resection and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Large Pedunculated Polyps

Abstract

Background Endoscopic resection of large pedunculated colorectal polyps with a thick stalk is technically difficult. Endoloop-assisted endoscopic resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection have been confirmed to be effective and safe, respectively. Here, we compared the efficacy and safety of these two different methods.
