• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of our study is to analyze the advantages of the prophylactic use of hemoclips before polypectomy in our usual clinical practice, through a prospective randomized study that determines their effectiveness compared to conventional polypectomy, assessing the decrease in immediate and delayed post-polypectomy bleeding

Detailed description

The methods for preventing post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) are not standardised and there are groups that use hemoclips for this purpose. The aim of our study is to analyze whether the use of hemoclips reduces PPB complications. It is a prospective, randomised study of patients with pedunculated polyps larger than 10mm. The patients were included in two groups (hemoclip before polypectomy -HC- and standard polypectomy -SP-)

Conditions

• Postpolypectomy Bleeding

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Hemoclip	A rotatable clip-fixing device "Quickclip 2" standard was used (Olympus Medical Systems Corp. Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan), with an opening diameter of 135º and a maximum insertion portion diameter of 2.6 mm
DEVICE	Conventional Polipectomy	Disposable electrosurgical snares (Olympus Medical Systems Corp. Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan) and an electrosurgery unit ERBE (ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Germany) were used for polyp resection
