title: [Endoscopic mucosal resection in the treatment of 2609 cases with colorectal polyps].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the treatment of colorectal polyps.
  
  
  METHODS
  EMR was applied in the treatment of colorectal polyps.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 3578 polyps in 2609 patients were all completely resected except 2 cases and the integrated rate of samples was 99.6%. Intra- and post-operation complications occurred in 22 cases(0.8%), including 7 intraoperative bleeding, 5 postoperative bleeding, and 10 thermal burn, which were cured by symptomatic treatment. A total of 1530 (58.6%) cases were followed-up with 3-12 months and no relapse was found in former place of excision.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  EMR can be applied in resection of colorectal polyps effectively and safely.
