28 Lessons 1. Older patients carefully balance risk and benefit 2. Anti-coagulation and clopidogrel are risk factors 3. Snare without cautery: LOWER RISK

29 Minimizing Harms of Colonoscopy: Orientation Polypectomy making it easier Torque to optimal position

30 Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) Standard Inject and Cut EMR (Saline assisted polypectomy) Soetikno et al. GIE 2003

31 Minimizing Harms of Colonoscopy: Be Prepared Bleeding : #1 GI complication of polypectomy Thick Stalk: consider epinephrine injection Have toys ready: Clips Loops Injection

32 Minimizing Harms of Colonoscopy Not all polyps should be removed Assess likelihood of incomplete removal Large, flat, carpeting polyps Non-lift with saline injection Possibly higher risk: Large cecal lesions

33 Minimizing Harms of Colonoscopy An incomplete colon is NOT always a failure Cecum
