About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • benign lesions in the large and small intestine
  • diameter of lesion smaller than 3cm

Exclusion criteria

  • malign lesions of the large and small intestine
  • diameter of lesions larger than 3cm

Treatment and study plan

traction assisted endoscopic mucosa resection

Device

A haemoclip is connected to suture material and will be fixed (next) to a polyp to allow traction and lifting the lesion in order to facilitate its resection with a loop.

Other names: endoscopic polypectomy

Primary outcomes

  1. ablation of lesion in toto

    Time frame: 1 week after intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. complications after resection

    Time frame: within one week after intervention
