Conditions

Adenomatous Polyps, Colonic Polyps

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to verify if the ablation of lesions (polyps, adenomas) in the large (and small) intestine can be facilitated by using a traction on the lesions.

Detailed description

We want to facilitate the ablation of lesions (polyps, adenomas) in the large (and small) intestine by using a traction assisted technique. The traction will be performed by using a haemoclip connected to surgical suture materials. The haemoclip will be fixed to the intestinal mucosa next to the lesion and a loop will be mounted to perform an endoscopic mucosal resection. The aim of the study is to show the feasibility of this technique.

Interventions

DEVICEtraction assisted endoscopic mucosa resection

A haemoclip is connected to suture material and will be fixed (next) to a polyp to allow traction and lifting the lesion in order to facilitate its resection with a loop.
