Use of the endoscopic powered resection device for the management of scarred polyps.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The endoscopic powered resection (EPR) device (EndoRotor, Interscope Inc, Northbridge, Mass, USA) is a novel nonthermal device that can be used for polyp and tissue removal in the GI tract. Here, we review the EPR device and illustrate its use for resection of scarred or fibrotic lesions in the GI tract.

Methods

In this article and accompanying video, we describe the EPR device features, provide step-by-step instructions for device setup, and review case examples in which the EPR device was used for scarred polyp resection. We also review the current literature describing the use of the EPR device for scarred or challenging polyps.

Results

Four lesions with scarring or fibrosis were successfully resected with the EPR device, either with the EPR dev
