Case description

A sessile serrated adenoma (abbreviated SSA), also known as sessile serrated polyp (abbreviated SSP), is a premalignant flat (or sessile) lesion of the colon, predominantly seen in the cecum and ascending colon. SSAs are thought to lead to colorectal cancer, therefore they need to be resected. The following clip presents a resection of an SSA, followed by an ablation and a clip closure of the wound.
