Trial Identification

Brief Title: Traction Assisted Polypectomy of the Intestine

Official Title: Traction Assisted Endoscopic Mucosa Resection (TAEMR)

Study ID: NCT00966420

Conditions

Colonic Polyps

Adenomatous Polyps

Interventions

traction assisted endoscopic mucosa resection

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to verify if the ablation of lesions (polyps, adenomas) in the large (and small) intestine can be facilitated by using a traction on the lesions.

Detailed Description: We want to facilitate the ablation of lesions (polyps, adenomas) in the large (and small) intestine by using a traction assisted technique. The traction will be performed by using a haemoclip connected to surgical suture materials. The haemoclip will be fixed to the intestinal mucosa next to the lesion and a loop will be mounted to perform an endoscopic mucosal resection. The aim of the study is to show the feasibility of this technique.
