AIMS: To assess the efficacy of Endocuff Vision (EcV) in order to improve stability, to reduce operation time and complication rate during difficult colon mucosectomy.
BACKGROUND : Polyp size, location and morphology have a significant impact on the difficult of endoscopic mucosectomy. Size, Morphology, Site, Access (SMSA) is a scoring system to grade the difficulty during mucosectomy. With increasing difficult, the risk of complications, recurrence and malignancy also increase.
The EcV is a new endoscopic device that is attached like a cap to the distal tip of the colonoscope. The device has eight flexible branches that are used to flatten the folds of the colon.The use of EcV significantly improves the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR).
