| Polyp stalk |
 |
An incomplete resection of a
pedunculated sigmoid polyp
has been done. Neoplastic tissue is evident at the stalk´s
stump. After prophylactic clipping at the stalk´s base the
tumorous rests are resected by cautery snare.
If the clip is applied to close to the colonic wall, perforation might result for aberrant electric current.
Thus in case of clipping the decision has to be made,
whether clipping after resection is also feasable.
An Endoloop® is a true
alternative in this case. |
| Hemorrhage after polypectomy |
 |
Oozing hemorrhage one day
after removal of a sessile sigmoid
adenoma. The bleeding is
treated by application of
a metal clip.
