SMALL AS WELL AS LARGE COLORECTAL LESIONS ARE EFFECTIVELY MANAGED BY ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL RESECTION TECHNIQUE.

Background: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an easy-to-use treatment option for superficial colorectal lesions, including lesions ≥20 mm.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of EMR.

Methods: We evaluated 430 lesions removed by EMR in 404 patients.

Blue laser imaging: a new image-enhanced endoscopy for the diagnosis of colorectal lesions.

Background: Image-enhanced endoscopy enables real-time differential diagnosis of colorectal lesions through the observation of microvascular architecture.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of using blue laser imaging (BLI) for capillary pattern analysis in the differential diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study included 920 consecutive superficial lesions diagnosed in 457 patients.
