Underwater vs Conventional Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Large Sessile or Flat Colorectal Polyps: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Background & AimsConventional endoscopic mucosal resection (CEMR) with submucosal injection is the current standard for the resection of large, nonmalignant colorectal polyps. We investigated whether underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is superior to CEMR for large (20–40mm) sessile or flat colorectal polyps.MethodsIn this prospective randomized controlled study, patients with sessile or flat colorectal polyps between 20 and 40 mm in...
