Improved Techniques for Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) in Colorectal Adenoma.
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic therapy of colorectal adenomas and early cancers is a standard method. Besides oncological criteria, the method is limited by polyp location, size, and texture.


METHODS
Based on the current literature, technical modifications and developments in endoscopic mucosal resection are described.


RESULTS
Numerous approaches exist to improve the conditions of resection, including optimisation of mucosal elevation and modification of techniques, tools, and devices.


CONCLUSIONS
Endoscopic therapy of sessile and flat colorectal polyps remains a challenge. Some of the presented modifications can help to address this challenge.
