What the procedure involves.
Endoscopic removal of colorectal polyps using advanced techniques including EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) and ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection) for large or complex lesions. Chinese endoscopy centers have developed world-class expertise in ESD, a technique originating in Asia that allows en-bloc removal of large flat lesions without surgery. These procedures prevent colorectal cancer progression while preserving the colon.
Step by step.
Colonoscopic Assessment
High-definition colonoscopy with chromoendoscopy and magnification to characterize polyp morphology, size, and invasion depth
Technique Selection
Determine optimal removal method: polypectomy for small polyps, EMR for sessile lesions, or ESD for large flat or early cancer lesions
Endoscopic Resection
Submucosal injection, circumferential incision (ESD), or snare resection (EMR) with complete specimen retrieval for histopathology
Surveillance Planning
Histopathology review, margin assessment, and establishment of follow-up colonoscopy schedule based on risk stratification
- World-class ESD expertise developed from high case volumes in Asia
- Organ-preserving alternative to colectomy for large polyps
- En-bloc resection allowing accurate histological staging
- Lower cost than surgical alternatives with faster recovery
- Perforation risk (1-5% for ESD)
- Delayed bleeding within 1-2 weeks
- Incomplete resection requiring repeat procedure
- Rare post-polypectomy syndrome (localized peritonitis)
