ENDOSCOPIC FULL-THICKNESS RESECTION OF A SESSILE SERRATED ADENOMA EXTENDING INSIDE THE APPENDICEAL ORIFICE
A 63-year-old male was found to have a sessile serrated adenoma extending inside the appendix.
After discussing the different options, he decided to proceed with endoscopic full-thickness resection.
The polyp was pulled inside the FTR cap, following that the FTR clip was deployed and the polyp was resected and retrieved. He had rectal bleeding the day after the procedure. Repeated colonoscopy showed a stable blood clot at the site of FTR without active bleeding. He did not require a blood transfusion and was discharged after 48 hours of observation.
The final pathology was sessile serrated adenoma with clear margins.
