yes - if very large won't have healed in 3 months - need 4-6 #FGDebate
Choose your mentor well and don't get cross when they take over #FGDebate
Never start a polypectomy unless you have all equipment and senior back up #FGDebate

Learn to do really accurate one-handed technique diagnostic colonoscopy. #FGDebate
if patient experiences pain during diathermy – STOP you may be irritating the serosal surface and be about to perforate #FGDebate
....... always cutting in parallel to the muscle layer. #FGDebate
7……AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP
before applying diathermy, retract the captured snare piece towards centre of lumen and. #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
5. Aspirate gas and push the open snare down onto the polyp to grasp tissue as the snare closes #FGDebate
3.Make sure you cut normal mucosa at the edge of the polyp to secure a clear lateral margin. #FGDebate
3.Use large volumes of injection – you can’t overdo it!
-I sometimes use 150ml for >8cm lesions #FGDebate
2. For large polyps don’t inject the whole polyp first
… rather inject – cut, inject – cut
sequentially #FGDebate
1.use the injection solution to enhance visualisation, inject proximally to lift the polyp towards the endoscope #FGDebate
