title: Endoscopic treatment of adenomas.
abstract: The endoscopic removal of colon polyps can be safely and efficiently accomplished when established principles of colonoscopy and electrosurgery are followed. This technique requires the proper equipment, a skilled endoscopy assistant, and a well-trained, experienced endoscopist. Complete mastery of basic colonoscopy is essential along with an understanding of the concepts of electrocautery and knowledge concerning the structural configurations of polyps.
