Summary

This study compared two methods for removing large, flat colon polyps: endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). ESD removes the polyp in one piece, which may lower the chance of it coming back, but it takes longer and has a higher risk of a hole in the colon. The study looked at 360 adults to see which method leads to fewer polyps returning after 6 months and which is more cost-effective over 3 years.
