Difficult colorectal polypectomy: Technical tips and recent advances

Figure 1 Basic maneuvers of polypectomy. A: Positioning the polyp at 5-6 o’clock on the monitor before polypectomy; B: The polyp’s base lying on gravity, this leads to poor visualization of the resection area; therefore, the patient’s position should be altered; C: The polyp’s base lying opposite to gravity after changing the patient’s position. This position change allows polyp stretching and avoids blood pooling on the resected site.
