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.
Colonoscopic Assessment
High-definition colonoscopy with chromoendoscopy and magnification to characterize polyp morphology, size, and invasion depth
Duration: 30-60 minutesTechnique Selection
Determine optimal removal method: polypectomy for small polyps, EMR for sessile lesions, or ESD for large flat or early cancer lesions
Duration: ImmediateEndoscopic Resection
Submucosal injection, circumferential incision (ESD), or snare resection (EMR) with complete specimen retrieval for histopathology
Duration: 30 minutes to 3 hoursSurveillance Planning
Histopathology review, margin assessment, and establishment of follow-up colonoscopy schedule based on risk stratification
Duration: 1-2 weeks for results- 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)
