Abstrakt: This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, discusses a technique called ischemic polypectomy (IP) that is used to reduce post-polypectomy bleeding. The article presents two clinical cases where IP was performed. In the first case, a patient with gastrointestinal bleeding had an ulcerated 20 mm ileal polyp that was successfully resected using an endoloop-assisted endoscopic resection. In the second case, a patient with prior laparotomies underwent a polypectomy for a 30 mm ileum hamartoma, which required external disassembly of the endoloop to facilitate retrieval. The article concludes that deploying an endoloop in the enteroscope can be challenging in hard-to-reach small bowel areas. [Extracted from the article]
