BackgroundEndoscopic polypectomy is widely used for colorectal polyps. However, for giant pedunculated colorectal polyps (≥3 cm), conventional techniques are so difficult with en bloc resection that patients had to be transferred to surgery. We had firstly reported our first experience with an insulated-tip knife to successfully remove a giant pedunculated polyp in the sigmoid colon. In this study, our aim was to explore safety and feasible of insulated-tip knife endoscopic polypectomy (IT-EP) for difficult pedunculated colorectal polyps.
