  • Title: Patient Selection, Risks, and Long-Term Outcomes Associated with Colorectal Polyp Resection.
    Author: Tomar SK, Damianos JA, Mahmood S.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2022 Apr; 32(2):351-370. PubMed ID: 35361340.
    Abstract:
    The 2 most significant complications of colonoscopy with polypectomy are bleeding and perforation. Although the incidence rates are generally low (<1%), these can be avoided by recognizing pertinent risk factors, which can be patient, polyp, and technique/device related. Endoscopists should be equipped to manage bleeding and perforation. Currently available devices and techniques to achieve hemostasis and manage colon perforations are reviewed.
