Clinical case A 30mm NG-LST polyp, with circumferential involvement of ileocecal valve.
Endoscopic findings NBI-near focus and crystal violet chromoendoscopy showing JNET 2A and Kudo III-L. Underwater endoscopic resection was planned. Air aspiration and distilled water instillation until completely filling of the area. EMR with rounded 25mm and 15mm snare (pulse slowcut 70W mode,effect 2)(ESG 300,Olympus).Piecemeal in 2 major fragments and few small fragments, following a systematic and circumferential approach. Complete resection is achieved,with final inspection of scar and terminal ileum without lesions.
Conclusions Underwater EMR is useful for complex resections such as NG-LST with circumferential involvement of ileocecal valve.
