Filter by:To prospectively validate the SERT (Sydney EMR Recurrence Tool) scoring system for adenoma recurrence rates around the endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) scar after wide field-EMR with thermal treatment applied to the defect margin. The primary aim of the study will be to ensure the safety of this approach and there will be constant monitoring to ensure that this is the case.
Background:The optimal technique for removal of diminutive or small colorectal polyps is debatable. Objective:To compare the complete resection rates of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP) for the removal of adenomatous polyps(3-9mm). Design：Prospective randomized controlled study. Setting：Three tertiary referral hospitals. Patients：we will recruit a total of 330 polyps(3-9mm). Interventions:Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to one of the two polypectomy protocols (CSP vs. HSP) using a computer-generated random sequence. If a patient had one or more polyps, all eligible polyps were removed using the initially assigned polypectomy protocol. After the initial polypectomy, additional EMR was performed at the polypectomy site to assess the presence of residual polyp tissue. Main Outcome Measurements:The primary study outcome was to compare the complete polyp resection rate between groups. Secondary outcomes included rate of postpolypectomy adverse events, including bleeding, perforations,infection and rate of tissue retrieval(Complete resection was defined as the absence of residual polyp tissue in the EMR sections of the polypectomy site).
This study is to evaluate the performance of Hemospray for the teatment of nonvariceal lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Although endoscopic colonic polypectomy has been an established procedure for two decades, the risk of bleeding is still higher after resecting of pedunculated polyps, because of the presence of a large artery in the stalk. Several preventive methods such as detachable snare and adrenaline injection have been proposed in the management of postpolypectomy bleeding in large colonic polyps. For prophylactic clip, there was no prospective randomized study assessing the efficacy in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding for the large pedunculated polyps. So we designed a prospective, randomized study to compares the efficacy of application of prophylactic clip and detachable snare in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding in large polyps. Application of prophylactic clip will be as effective and safe method as detachable snare in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding for the large pedunculated colonic polyps.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether position changes during colonoscope withdrawal affects polyp detection rate. We hypothesize that positions change during scope withdrawal will increase polyp detection rate.
The aim of this study is to develop a blood test to determine which patients are at risk for pre-cancerous colon polyps (ACPs: Advanced Colon Polyps). The telomere length of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) can be measured from a blood sample. Mechanistic pathways and the investigator's preliminary data support PBL telomere length as a biomarker for ACPs. The long-term goal of this project is to decrease deaths from colon cancer by using a blood test to target colonoscopy for those patients who are at high risk for pre-cancerous polyps.
