Figure 1 Endoscopic mucosal resection. (A) Identify the lesion initially with white light, then enhance visualization with narrow-band imaging followed by 0.2% diluted indigo carmine sprayed on the area of interest by a syringe through the accessory channel. (B) Inject diluted indigo carmine into the submucosal space with a 25-gauge sclerotherapy needle to create a submucosal bleb. (C) Suction air to collapse the distended colon and place the stiff electrosurgical snare around the lifted area of interest to complete resection. (D) Immediately reassess the post-resection margin for residual and use argon plasma coagulation for residual or endoscopic clips to close mucosal defects as appropriate.
