Abstract

Endoscopic musical resection (EMR) is a mini-invasive, affordable and effective method for removing benign polyps and early carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract. Compared to surgical treatment, it offers a safer alternative with better results and a faster recovery for the patient. Complications that may occur after polypectomy by EMR are amenable to endoscopic treatment with good success following the recommendations for endoscopic management after iatrogenic perforations. The presented clinical case proves that the risk of perforation increases with the size of the polyp, and that polypectomy in such cases should be performed by an experienced endoscopist and a trained team to ensure successful treatment.
