Here are my top tips for safe and successful EMR Here are my top tips for safe and successful EMR #FGDebate

1.use the injection solution to enhance visualisation, inject proximally to lift the polyp towards the endoscope #FGDebate

2. For large polyps don’t inject the whole polyp first … rather inject – cut, inject – cut sequentially #FGDebate

3.Use large volumes of injection – you can’t overdo it! -I sometimes use 150ml for >8cm lesions #FGDebate

3.Make sure you cut normal mucosa at the edge of the polyp to secure a clear lateral margin. #FGDebate

5. Aspirate gas and push the open snare down onto the polyp to grasp tissue as the snare closes #FGDebate

6. If you have caught too much tissue in the snare, partially reopen and allow the deeper tissue to slip away before reclosing #FGDebate

7……AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP before applying diathermy, retract the captured snare piece towards centre of lumen and. #FGDebate

....... always cutting in parallel to the muscle layer. #FGDebate

if patient experiences pain during diathermy – STOP you may be irritating the serosal surface and be about to perforate #FGDebate
