Abstract

Endoscopic submucosa resection (EMR) has revolutionized the diagnosis, staging and treatment of early stage mucosal neoplasm of gastrointestinal tract. As minimally invasive procedure, it offers endoscopic alternative to surgical resection that has higher morbidity, mortality and cost. The technique of EMR is continuously evolving. Standardization of this technique is important to optimize the outcome. In this chapter we will discuss snare polypectomy and EMR.
