Background: Recent non-randomized studies suggest that extended endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is equally effective in removing large rectal adenomas as transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).
Cold endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) demonstrates lower rates of delayed bleeding and perforation but a higher risk for recurrent or residual neoplasia than hot EMR in colorectal polyp treatment.
Comparative studies of endoscopic techniques, such as endoscopic mucosal resection with a cap (EMR-c) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), have also been conducted. These studies indicate ...
