Case description

It is important to keep the lesion non-dependent before undertaking EMR. Flush fluid and see if the lesion is dependent or not. If it is in dependent position, then turn the patient to make the lesion non-dependent before EMR. If the lesion is in dependent position, bleeding source could be difficult to identify as blood pools over. If the lesion is in non-dependent position, bleeding source could be easily identified as blood runs away from source instead of pooling.
