Background
/Aims: Polyps greater than 30 mm are classified as “giants”. Their endoscopic removal represents a technical challenge. The choice of the endoscopic removal technique is important because it provides a resection sample for precise histopathological staging. This is pivotal for diagnostic, prognostic, and management purposes.
Methods
From a retrospective analysis, we obtained a sample of 38 giant polyps. Eighteen polypectomies were performed using the epinephrine volume reduction (EVR) method, nine polypectomies utilized endo-looping or clipping methods, and 11 patients underwent surgery.
Results
We obtained en bloc resection with the EVR method in all cases; histology confirmed the correct indication for endoscopic resection in all cases. Moreover, no early or delayed complications were observed, and no patient required hospitalization. Using endo-looping or clipping methods, we observed advanced histology in 1/9 (11.1%) cases, while another patient (1/9, 11.1%) had delayed bleeding. Among patients who underwent surgery, 5/11 (45.5%) were deemed overtreated and three had post-surgical complications.
Conclusions
We propose EVR as an alternative technique for giant polyp resection due to its safety, effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and the advantage of avoiding the need to postpone polypectomy to a later time. Further prospective studies might help improve this experience and enhance the technique.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Outcomes of thin versus thick-wire snares for cold snare polypectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Suprabhat Giri, Vaneet Jearth, Harish Darak, Sridhar Sundaram
Clin Endosc 2022;55(6):742-750.   Published online November 9, 2022

Background
/Aims: Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is commonly used for the resection of colorectal polyps ≤10 mm. Data regarding the influence of snare type on CSP effectiveness are conflicting. Hence, this meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes and safety of thin- and thick-wire snares for CSP.
Methods
A comprehensive search of the literature published between 2000 and 2021 was performed of various databases for comparative studies evaluating the outcomes of thin- versus thick-wire snares for CSP.
Results
Five studies with data on 1,425 polyps were included in the analysis. The thick-wire snare was comparable to the thin-wire snare with respect to complete histological resection (risk ratio [RR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97–1.09), overall bleeding (RR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.40–2.40), polyp retrieval (RR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.97–1.04), and involvement of submucosa in the resection specimen (RR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.72–2.28). There was no publication bias and a small study effect, and the relative effects remained the same in the sensitivity analysis.
Conclusions
CSP using a thin-wire snare has no additional benefit over thick-wire snares in small colorectal polyps. Factors other than snare design may play a role in improving CSP outcomes.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Colonoscopic polypectomy is effective in decreasing the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC). Premalignant polyps discovered during colonoscopy are associated with the risk of metachronous advanced neoplasia. Postpolypectomy surveillance is the most important method for the management of advanced metachronous neoplasia. A more efficient and evidence-based guideline for postpolypectomy surveillance is required because of limited medical resources and concerns regarding colonoscopy complications. In these consensus guidelines, an analytic approach was used to address all reliable evidence to interpret the predictors of CRC or advanced neoplasia during surveillance colonoscopy. The key recommendations state that the high-risk findings for metachronous CRC following polypectomy are as follows: (1) adenoma ≥10 mm in size; (2) 3 to 5 (or more) adenomas; (3) tubulovillous or villous adenoma; (4) adenoma containing high-grade dysplasia; (5) traditional serrated adenoma; (6) sessile serrated lesion (SSL) containing any grade of dysplasia; (7) serrated polyp of at least 10 mm in size; and (8) 3 to 5 (or more) SSLs. More studies are needed to fully comprehend the patients most likely to benefit from surveillance colonoscopy and the ideal surveillance interval to prevent metachronous CRC.

Post-polypectomy surveillance: the present and the future
Masau Sekiguchi, Takahisa Matsuda, Kinichi Hotta, Yutaka Saito
Clin Endosc 2022;55(4):489-495.   Published online July 11, 2022
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2022.097
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
An appropriate post-polypectomy surveillance program requires the effectiveness of reducing colorectal cancer and safety. In addition, the post-polypectomy surveillance program should consider the burden of limited medical resource capacity, cost-effectiveness, and patient adherence. In this sense, a risk-stratified surveillance program based on baseline colonoscopy results is ideal. Major international guidelines for post-polypectomy surveillance, such as those from the European Union and the United States, have recommended risk-stratified surveillance programs. Both guidelines have recently been updated to better differentiate between high- and low-risk individuals. In both updated guidelines, more individuals have been downgraded to lower-risk groups that require less frequent or no surveillance. Furthermore, increased attention has been paid to the surveillance of patients who undergo serrated polyp removal. Previous guidelines in Japan did not clearly outline the risk stratification in post-polypectomy surveillance. However, the new colonoscopy screening and surveillance guidelines presented by the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society include a risk-stratified post-polypectomy surveillance program. Further discussion and analysis of unresolved issues in this field, such as the optimal follow-up after the first surveillance, the upper age limit for surveillance, and the ideal method for improving adherence to surveillance guidelines, are warranted.

Current Treatment Strategy for Superficial Nonampullary Duodenal Epithelial Tumors
Tetsuya Suwa, Kohei Takizawa, Noboru Kawata, Masao Yoshida, Yohei Yabuuchi, Yoichi Yamamoto, Hiroyuki Ono

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard treatment method for esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers. However, it has not been standardized for duodenal lesions because of its high complication rates. Recently, minimally invasive and simple methods such as cold snare polypectomy and underwater endoscopic mucosal resection have been utilized more for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs). Although the rate of complications associated with duodenal ESD has been gradually decreasing because of technical advancements, performing ESD for all SNADETs is unnecessary. As such, the appropriate treatment plan for SNADETs should be chosen according to the lesion type, patient condition, and endoscopist’s skill.

Is Submucosal Injection Helpful in Cold Snare Polypectomy for Small Colorectal Polyps?
Ji Hyun Song, Shai Friedland
Clin Endosc 2021;54(3):397-403.   Published online February 9, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2020.226
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background
/Aims: Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is an effective method of polyp removal for small colorectal polyps. However, the effect of submucosal injection in cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR) for small polyps is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of submucosal injection in CS-EMR for small polyps.
Methods
Between 2018 and 2019, 100 consecutive small colorectal polyps (5–10 mm) were identified in 58 patients. The first 50 consecutive polyps were removed by CS-EMR, and the remaining 50 were removed by CSP. Demographic data, clinical data, endoscopic findings, procedure times, complication rates, and pathology data were collected.
Results
No difference in the complete resection rate was observed between the CS-EMR and CSP groups. A total of 9 polyps showed post-polypectomy bleeding (7 had immediate bleeding, 1 had delayed bleeding, and 1 had both immediate and delayed bleeding). No difference in the bleeding rate was observed between the two groups. In multivariate analysis, warfarin (odds ratio [OR], 42.334; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.006–1,781.758) and direct-acting oral anticoagulants (OR, 35.244; 95% CI, 3.853–322.397) showed a significantly increased risk of bleeding.
Conclusions
The effect of submucosal injection in CSP was not significant for small colorectal polyps.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Background
/Aims: The aim of this in vivo animal study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dedicated cold snare (DCS) compared with those of traditional snare (TS) for cold snare polypectomy (CSP).
Methods
A total of 36 diminutive (5 mm) and 36 small (9 mm) pseudolesions were made by electrocoagulation in the colons of mini-pigs.
Results
For the diminutive lesions, there were no significant differences in technical success rate, procedure time, or complete resection rate between the DCS and TS groups; the rate of uneven resection margin in the DCS group was significantly lower than that of the TS group. For small lesions, technical success rate and complete resection rate were significantly higher in the DCS group than in the TS group (100% [18/18] vs. 55.6% [10/18], p=0.003; 94.4% [17/18] vs. 40% [4/10], p=0.006). In addition, the procedure duration was significantly shorter, and the rate of uneven resection margin was significantly lower in the DCS group (28.5 sec vs. 66.0 sec, p=0.006; 11.1% [2/18] vs. 100% [10/10], p<0.001). Two cases of perforation occurred in the DCS group. Multivariate analysis revealed that DCS use was independently associated with complete resection.
Conclusions
DCS is superior to TS in terms of technical success, complete resection, and reducing the duration of the procedure for CSP of small polyps.

Endoscopic Management of Post-Polypectomy Bleeding
Aditya Gutta, Mark A. Gromski
Clin Endosc 2020;53(3):302-310.   Published online September 17, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2019.062
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) is one of the most common complications of endoscopic polypectomy. There are multiple risk factors related to patient and polyp characteristics that should be considered. In most cases, immediate PPB can be effectively managed endoscopically when recognized and managed promptly. Delayed PPB can manifest in a myriad of ways. In severe delayed PPB, resuscitation for hemodynamic stabilization should be prioritized, followed by endoscopic evaluation and therapy once the patient is stabilized. Future areas of research in PPB include the risks of direct oral anticoagulants and of specific electrosurgical settings for hot-snare polypectomy vs. cold-snare polypectomy, benefits of closure of post-polypectomy mucosal defects using through-the-scope clips, and prospective comparative evaluation of newer hemostasis agents such as hemostatic spray powder and over-the-scope clips.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
We described for the first time the contrast enhancement of a giant fibrovascular esophageal polyp using ultrasound contrast agent, Sonovue® (Bracco, Milan, Italy) during echoendoscopy. Fine Doppler was unsuccessful in showing vascularization due to the mobile characteristic of the tumor. In contrast, via Sonovue® , tissue microcirculation was highlighted inside the entire head of the polyp, leading to better appreciate the risk of bleeding related to its resection. In a second part, we showed the feasibility of classic polypectomy for this giant polyp (5×5 cm) without complication and results of control endoscopy at 3 months. The present case is summarized in a video.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background
/Aims: We studied factors influencing colon postpolypectomy bleeding (PPB), with a focus on antithrombotic and anticoagulation therapy.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective case-control study of all patients who underwent polypectomy at our tertiary referral center in Italy between 2007 and 2014. Polyp characteristics (number of polyps removed per patient, size, morphology, location, resection technique, prophylactic hemostasis methods) and patient characteristics (age, sex, comorbidities, medication) were analyzed.
Results
The case and control groups included 118 and 539 patients, respectively. The two groups differed in the frequency of comorbidities (69% vs. 40%, p=0.001), polyps removed (27% vs. 18%, p=0.02), and use of heparin therapy (23% vs. 1%, p<0.001). A total of 279 polyps in the case group and 966 in the control group were nonpedunculated (69% vs. 81%, p=0.01) and measured ≥10 mm (78% vs. 32%, p=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that polyps ≥10 mm (odds ratio [OR], 6.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3–15.5), administration of heparin (OR, 16.5; 95% CI, 6.2–44), comorbidity (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.4–3.9), and presence of ≥2 risk factors (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.7–6.0) were associated with PPB.
Conclusions
The incidence of PPB increases with polyp size ≥10 mm, heparin use, comorbidity, and presence of ≥2 risk factors.

Optimal Colonoscopy Surveillance Interval after Polypectomy
Tae Oh Kim
Clin Endosc 2016;49(4):359-363.   Published online July 29, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2016.080
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
The detection and removal of adenomatous polyps and postpolypectomy surveillance are considered important for the control of colorectal cancer (CRC). Surveillance using colonoscopy is an effective tool for preventing CRC after colorectal polypectomy, especially if compliance is good. In current practice, the intervals between colonoscopies after polypectomy are variable. Different recommendations for recognizing at risk groups and defining surveillance intervals after an initial finding of colorectal adenomas have been published. However, high-grade dysplasia and the number and size of adenomas are known major cancer predictors. Based on this, a subgroup of patients that may benefit from intensive surveillance colonoscopy can be identified.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Colorectal polypectomy is an effective method for prevention of colorectal cancer. Many endoscopic instruments have been used for colorectal polypectomy, such as snares, forceps, endoscopic clips, a Coagrasper, retrieval net, injector, and electrosurgery generator unit (ESU). Understanding the characteristics of endoscopic instruments and their proper use according to morphology and size of the colorectal polyp will enable endoscopists to perform effective polypectomy. I reviewed the characteristics of endoscopic instruments for colorectal polypectomy and their appropriate use, as well as the basic principles and settings of the ESU.

Use of a Double-Channel Gastroscope Reduces Procedural Time in Large Left-Sided Colonic Endoscopic Mucosal Resections
Evangelos Voudoukis, Georgios Tribonias, Aikaterini Tavernaraki, Angeliki Theodoropoulou, Emmanouil Vardas, Konstantina Paraskeva, Gregorios Chlouverakis, Gregorios A. Paspatis
Clin Endosc 2015;48(2):136-141.   Published online March 27, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2015.48.2.136
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large colorectal lesions is associated with increased procedural time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of double-channel gastroscope (DCG) use on the procedural time of EMRs in the rectosigmoid area.

Methods

All EMRs for sessile or flat rectosigmoid lesions ≥2 cm performed between July 2011 and September 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

There were 55 lesions ≥2 cm in the rectosigmoid area in 55 patients, of which 26 were removed by EMR using a DCG (DC group) and 29 by using an ordinary colonoscope or gastroscope (OS group). The mean size of the removed polyps, morphology, adverse effects, and other parameters were similar between the two groups. The mean procedural time was significantly lower in the DC group than in the OS group (24.4±18.3 minutes vs. 36.3±24.4 minutes, p=0.015). Moreover, in a subgroup of patients with polyps >40 mm, the statistical difference in the mean procedural time between the DC and OS groups was even more pronounced (33±21 minutes vs. 58.7±20.6 minutes, p=0.004).

Conclusions

Our data suggest that the use of a DCG in the resection of large nonpedunculated rectosigmoid lesions significantly reduces the procedural time.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims

Although postpolypectomy fever (PPF) without colon perforation or hemorrhage is rare, its incidence and risk factors have not been investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for PPF among inpatients.

Methods

Seven patients with PPF were matched with 70 patients without PPF from a total of 3,444 patients who underwent colonoscopic polypectomy. The PPF incidence during index hospitalization after colonoscopy was calculated, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for risk factors.

Results

PPF without bleeding or perforation in the colon occurred in seven patients (0.2%). The median age was 58 years for cases and 61 years for controls. The median interval from polypectomy to occurrence of fever was 7 hours, and the median duration of fever was 9 hours. Polyp size >2 cm (adjusted OR, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.15; p=0.02) and hypertension (adjusted OR, 14.40; 95% CI, 1.23 to 180.87; p=0.03) were associated with a significantly increased risk of PPF. PPF increased the length of hospitalization.

Conclusions

Although the crude incidence of PPF is low, PPF may prolong hospitalization. Risk factors for PPF include hypertension and large polyps.

A Polypoid Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma of the Stomach Treated with Endoscopic Polypectomy
Shin Young Min, Jun Haeng Lee, Poong-Lyul Rhee
Clin Endosc 2013;46(6):647-650.   Published online November 19, 2013

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the stomach is the most common extranodal lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. It is usually accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, and eradication of H. pylori remains the mainstay of treatment for gastric MALT lymphoma. However, there is no consensus on the second-line treatment for patients with gastric MALT lymphoma who do not improve after successful H. pylori eradication. Here, we report the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with a polypoid type of gastric MALT lymphoma on the greater curvature side of the upper body. Despite successful H. pylori eradication, the tumor did not regress after 6 months. Because the tumor had a semipedunculated polypoid morphology, gastric polypectomy was implemented as a second-line treatment. No recurrence occurred during the 3-year follow-up period. We suggest that gastric polypectomy be considered an alternative treatment modality for polypoid gastric MALT lymphoma that is unresponsive to H. pylori eradication.

Focused Review Series: Optical Diagnosis and New Management Strategy of Colorectal Polyps
New Paradigms for Colonoscopic Management of Diminutive Colorectal Polyps: Predict, Resect, and Discard or Do Not Resect?
Cesare Hassan, Alessandro Repici, Angelo Zullo, Prateek Sharma
Clin Endosc 2013;46(2):130-137.   Published online March 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2013.46.2.130
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

The possibility to predict in vivo the histology of colorectal polyps by advanced endoscopic imaging has resulted in the implementation of a more conservative management for diminutive lesions detected at colonoscopy. In detail, a predict-and-do-not-resect strategy has been proposed for diminutive lesions located in the rectosigmoid tract, whilst a predict-resect-and-discard policy has been advocated for nonrectosigmoid diminutive polyps. Recently, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy set required thresholds to be met, before allowing the adoption of these policies in the clinical field. The ability of current endoscopic imaging in reaching these thresholds would depend on a complex interaction among the accuracy of advanced endoscopic imaging in differentiating between adenomatous and hyperplastic lesions, the prevalence of (advanced) neoplasia within diminutive lesions, and the type of surveillance intervals recommended. Aim of this review is to summarize the data supporting the application of both a predict-and-do-not-resect and a predict-resect-and-discard policies, also addressing the potential pitfalls associated with these strategies.

Background/Aims

Immediate postpolypectomy bleeding (IPPB) increases the procedure time and it may disturb performing a safe polypectomy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether clipping before snare polypectomy of large pedunculated polyps is useful for the prevention of IPPB.

Methods

This is a single arm, pilot study. We enrolled patients with pedunculated colorectal polyps that were 1 cm in size or more from 4 university hospitals between June 2009 and June 2010. Clips were applied at the stalk and snare polypectomy was then performed. The complications, including IPPB, were investigated.

Results

Fifty six pedunculated polyps in 47 patients (Male:Female=36:11; age, 56±11 years) were included. The size of the polyp heads was 17±8 mm. Tubular adenoma was most common (57%). The number of clips used before snare polypectomy was 2±0.5. The procedure was successful in all cases. IPPB occurred in 2 cases (3.6%), and both of these were managed by additional clipping. Delayed bleeding occurred in another one case (1.8%), which improved with conservative treatment. No perforation occurred.

Conclusions

We suggest that clipping before snare polypectomy of pedunculated polyps may be an easy and effective technique for the prevention of IPPB, and this should be confirmed in large scale, prospective, controlled studies.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub

Postpolypectomy surveillance has become a major indication for colonoscopy as a result of increased use of screening colonoscopy in Korea. In this report, a careful analytic approach was used to address all available evidences to delineate the predictors for advanced neoplasia at surveillance colonoscopy and we elucidated the high risk findings of the index colonoscopy as follows: 3 or more adenomas, any adenoma larger than 10 mm, any tubulovillous or villous adenoma, any adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, and any serrated polyps larger than 10 mm. Surveillance colonoscopy should be performed five years after the index colonoscopy for those without any high-risk findings and three years after the index colonoscopy for those with one or more high risk findings. However, the surveillance interval can be shortened considering the quality of the index colonoscopy, the completeness of polypectomy, the patient's general condition, and family and medical history.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub

There is indirect evidence to suggest that 80% of colorectal cancers (CRC) develop from adenomatous polyps and that, on average, it takes 10 years for a small polyp to transform into invasive CRC. In multiple cohort studies, colonoscopic polypectomy has been shown to significantly reduce the expected incidence of CRC by 76% to 90%. Colonoscopic polypectomy is performed frequently in primary outpatient clinics and secondary and tertiary medical centers in Korea. However, there are no evidence-based, procedural guidelines for the appropriate performance of this procedure, including the technical aspects. For the guideline presented here, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library literature searches were performed. When little or no data from well-designed prospective trials were available, an emphasis was placed on the results from large series and reports from recognized experts. Thus, these guidelines for colonoscopic polypectomy are based on a critical review of the available data as well as expert consensus. Further controlled clinical studies are needed to clarify aspects of this statement, and revision may be necessary as new data become available. This guideline is intended to be an educational device to provide information that may assist endoscopists in providing care to patients. This guideline is not a rule and should not be construed as a legal standard of care or as encouraging, advocating, requiring, or discouraging any particular treatment. Clinical decisions for any particular case involve a complex analysis of the patient's condition and the available courses of action.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Colonoscopy is commonly used as a screening tool for colorectal polyps and cancer. It also offers a chance to remove polyps via the polypectomy technique. Colonoscopic polypectomy is a relatively safe procedure, yet there is the possibility of serious complications such as perforation and bleeding. Postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome presents with pain, fever, an elevated white blood cell count and signs of peritoneal irritation, and usually within 12 hours of the procedure. No free air is seen on plain films or a CT scan, which is different from frank bowel perforation. The management of postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome includes fasting, antibiotics and intravenous hydration. We report here on a case of a 53-year-old woman who underwent right hemicolectomy because she presented with fever, signs of peritoneal irritation and shock after colonoscopic polypectomy. The final diagnosis was postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome as there was no perforation in the resected specimen. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:236-239)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Gastritis cystica polyposa is an uncommon lesion that usually occurs at the gastroenterostomy site, but it may also develop in the non-operated stomach. This malady is characterized by polypoid mucosal changes with hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of glands that infiltrate into the submucosal layer. We report here on a case of gastritis cystica polyposa that presented as a mass impacted in the duodenum in a 63-year-old male, and this patient had been admitted for evaluation of progressive epigastric fullness and dyspepsia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed that the partial duodenal obstruction was caused by impaction of a huge polypoid mass with a stalk that originated from the lower body of the stomach. We fished out the impacted mass with a forceps catheter while holding the neck with a snare catheter. Thereafter, an endoloop was applied to the stalk of mass, and this was followed by polypectomy using a snare catheter. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:228-231)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Intestinal intussusception in adults is a rare disease. Most of the cases of adult intussusception are secondary to a definable lesion, and so surgical treatment generally needed. Intussusception that occurs after colonoscopic polypectomy is apparently a rare malady. A 77-year old man undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy was diagnosed as having colonic intussusception at the hepatic flexure. As there was no clinical improvement with conservative treatment, he underwent segmental resection of the ascending and transverse colon. Pathologic examination revealed that the colonoscopic polypectomy site was a leading point of the intussusception. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:172-175)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a familial syndrome consisting of mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal polyposis and appears to be inherited as a single pleiotropic autosomal dominant gene with variable and incomplete penetrance. Cases of hamartomatous polyps of the Peutz-Jeghers type without Peutz-Jeghers syndrome have only rarely been reported. Moreover, only one case of a Peutz-Jeghers polyp at the appendix has been reported; it was resected by appendectomy. We report here on a case of a 45 year old man who had a hamartomatous polyp of the Peutz-Jeghers type arising from the appendix. The polyp was successfully removed by endoscopic polypectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a hamartomatous polyp of the Peutz-Jeghers type that originated from the appendix and that was resected endoscopically.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for delayed bleeding after colonoscopic polypectomy.
Methods
3,530 polypectomies in 1,542 patients were evaluated. Risk factors were identified among patient-related factors (age, sex, comorbidity, anticoagulants, antiplatelets), polyp-related factors (size, shape, location, histology), and procedure-related factors (experience of the endoscopist, sedation, resection method).
Results
Delayed bleeding occurred in 26 lesions (0.7%) of 24 patients (1.6%). Polyp-based multivariate analysis revealed that polyp size greater than 15 mm (OR, 2.882; 95% CI, 1.106 to 7.506; p=0.030) and sedation-free colonoscopy (OR, 2.606; 95% CI, 1.116 to 6.084; p=0.027) were significant risk factors for delayed bleeding after polypectomy. In colonoscopy-based analysis, hypertension increased the risk of delayed bleeding after polypectomy (OR, 2.938; 95% CI, 1.009 to 8.557; p=0.048).
Conclusions
Large polyp size, sedation-free colonoscopy, and hypertension are associated with delayed bleeding after colonoscopic polypectomy. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;40:164-169)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Small intestinal polyps in patients with Peutz-Jeghers (PJ) syndrome cause therapeutic difficulties because of the necessity for repeated laparotomy. We evaluated the short-term outcomes and long-term usefulness of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) polypectomy for treating small intestinal PJ polyps.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with PJ syndrome (M:F=7:3, mean age 22.7 years) and whose small intestinal polyps were resected with DBE between January 2005 and July 2008. We analyzed their clinical, endoscopic and pathologic features, the short-term outcomes and the long-term follow-up results.
Results
Among 10 patients, 2 complained hematochezia and 2 presented with intussusceptions. DBE polypectomy was performed by the oral route in 4 patients, by the anal route in 1 and by both routes in 5 without significant complications, except for only one perforation. The polyps were 0.5∼6 cm in size and most of them were pedunculated. The histopathology revealed hamartomatous polyps in most cases. Follow-up small bowel series was performed in 6 of 10 patients, and 3 showed remnant polyps. Two of them underwent repeated DBE polypectomy without significant complications.
Conclusions
We suggest that DBE polypectomy is a useful treatment for PJ small intestinal polyps because of the good short-term outcome and the effectiveness of repeated polypectomy for the remnant or recurrent polyps. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;39:338-345)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Teratoma is a type of benign germ cell tumor that often contains several different types of tissue such as hair, muscle and bone, and these tissues arise from the three germinal layers. It occurs most often in the tailbones of children, the ovaries of women and the testicles of men. Primary rectal teratoma is extremely rare. We report here on a case of a 49-year-old woman with a primary rectal teratoma, and this was incidentally found during routine health screening. The rectal teratoma was a 15 mm-sized pedunculated polyp with a short stalk at the rectum, about 15 cm from anal verge as seen on CT colonography. On sigmoidoscopy and EUS, a fat and calcium containing well-defined polypoid lesion was noted in the upper rectum, with a narrow stalk attached to the colonic wall. The tumor was successfully excised by endoscopic polypectomy in order to obtain the histologic diagnosis and administer the proper treatment. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;39:308-312)

Rectal Leiomyoma Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography and Endoscopic Polypectomy
Sung Whan Cho, M.D., Hyung Yook Kim, M.D.* and Ung Suk Yang, M.D.
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;38(3):151-155.   Published online March 30, 2009
AbstractAbstract PDF
Leiomyoma of the rectum is a rare tumor and it usually present in 40 to 60 year-old individuals, and it is more frequent in men. It originates from either the muscularis mucosa or muscularis externa and those arising from the muscularis mucosa are typically small and they are identified incidentally in patients who are undergoing sigmoidoscopy. In contrast, the larger leiomyomas arising from the muscularis externa generally present symptoms that are consistent with rectal stenosis or a rectal mass. Endoscopic ultrasonography can help to define the tumor location, extension and size. Surgical resection is the treatment for most leiomyomas of the rectum, but endoscopic electroexcision is a safe and appropriate treatment for small polypoid rectal leiomyoma. We report here on a case of a semipedunculated rectal leiomyoma in a 59 year-old female patient. It was found incidentally during a colonoscopic examination and it was diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography. We performed endoscopic mucosal resection with colonoscopic snare electrocoagulation.

A Case of Delayed Massive Hemorrhage after Endoscopic Resecting a Rectal Carcinoid Tumor
So Mi Kim, M.D., Se Young Yun, M.D., Hoon Choi, M.D., Jae Huan Kong, M.D. and Sung Soo La, M.D.
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;38(2):111-115.   Published online February 27, 2009
AbstractAbstract PDF
Endoscopic resection is currently accepted as a standard therapy for colon polyp because of its safety and efficiency. The indications for endoscopic resection have been expanded to treat mucosal colon cancer and submucosal tumor. The major complications of endoscopic resection are hemorrhage, perforation and post- polypectomy coagulation syndrome. Hemorrhage is the most common complication, and this can occur immediately following colonoscopic polypectomy or it can be delayed after completion of the procedure. Delayed hemorrhage usually occurs within 7 days and this can stop by itself or the hemorrhage can be controlled endoscopically in the majority of patients, with only the unusual and serious cases requiring transfusion, angiography and surgery. We experienced a case of delayed massive hemorrhage with hypotension that required transfusion 12 days after performing endoscopic resection for rectal carcinoid tumor. We report here on this case to provide a good example and to place emphasis on delayed massive hemorrhage after endoscopic resection. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;38: 111-115)
