The traditional way of treating a large, colorectal polyp is to remove it in a piecemeal fashion. However, multifragmented, resected pieces make both retrieval after resection and histological assessment more difficult. In addition, piecemenal resection is associated with greater reocurrence. Recently, a new technique, Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) has been developed. This technique allows endoscopists to remove a polyp en-bloc, irrespective of its size. Certain colorectal lesions could be treated in this fashion.
