Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (UEMR)
Underwater EMR (UEMR), an alternative resection method for colonic neoplasms, avoids the need for submucosal injections. In comparison with reported outcomes of EMR, UEMR achieves similar rates of complete...
Colonoscopy Channel - EMR of a Subtle Lesion...
Subtle flat lesions are hard to detect and hard to remove with simple snare resection. Hence, endoscopic mucosal resection is required to remove such lesions as shown here.
Transverse Colon - Subtle Lesion EMR
Following video presents a screening colonoscopy performed in middle aged woman. A flat lesion was found in her transverse colon. EMR was done after 5 ml of Indigo Carmine injection, followed by 10 mm...

EMR Tricks - Modifying the Lesion
It is important to keep the lesion non-dependent before undertaking EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection). Flush fluid and see if the lesion is dependent or not. If it is in dependent position, then turn...
