P.05.16 Endocuff vision-assisted resection for “difficult” colonic lesions. Efficacy and safety in a pilot randomized study
Background and aim: Polyp size, location and morphology have
a significant impact on the difficult of endoscopic polypectomy.
Polyps longer than 2 cm in diameter or located in particular
anatomic regions (involving the ileocecal valve, close to the dentate
line, in an area that is difficult to access, or peridiverticular polyps)
are considered difficult polyps.
Size, Morphology, Site, Access (SMSA) is a scoring system to grade
the difficulty during polypectomy (Table 1). With increasing difficult,
