“…Most of the polyps were removed either using cold snare technique [10] (snare without cautery) or by endoscopic mucosal resection [11] (snare with cautery following submucosal injection of saline). There were 3 episodes of immediate bleeding (5% of patients, CI 1.7-14%); all were successfully treated by endoclip application and did not require hospital admission or observation.…”

“…Small polyps were resected using cold forceps; meanwhile for medium-size polyps, cold snare polypectomy was used. On the other hand, snare supplemented with electrocauterization was used in case of supracentimeter polyps [1,2]. Finally, for large sessile polyps (>2 cm) endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed, using submucosal injection of saline creating a cushion for the polyp and then hot snaring the polyp either en bloc or piecemeal [3] Histopathological specimen examination All specimens were histologically examined by two pathologists.…”

Background and aim: Gastric polyps are usually asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during endoscopic procedure. Determination of gastric polyp type is important as the risk for malignant transformation. The polyps behavior and the risk for malignant transformation depends on their histopathological type. To this point, there are no other studies presented in Albania about the gastric polyps. The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence and histological characteristics of gastric polyps in patients underwent endoscopic polypectomy or forceps biopsy.

“…Snare of different sizes and types are used and so far, no significant differences have been reported in term of effectiveness of polypectomy. Due to the small size and dimension of the polyps removed with this technique, a small diameter snare is often preferred to larger ones (34). The snare is passed through the working channel of the endoscope and opened around the base of the polyp.…”

SummaryColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer related death in the western countries. Up to 80% of CRC develops from adenomatous polyps, which can be detected and removed during colonoscopy, thus reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer. Screening colonoscopy is indeed the most efficient method of CRC prevention. However, "polyp" is an umbrella term including different type of lesions, which in turn are associated with different risks of developing or already harbouring neoplastic tissue. Several characteristics of a polyp can be assessed during an endoscopy examination such as gross morphology, superficial glandular pattern, vascular pattern and appearance under chromoendoscopy, which can reflect the nature of the polyp whether benign or with malignant potential. Nowadays, the umbrella term "polyectomy" has become obsolete as endoscopist should be able to tailor the management of colonic polyps according to their endoscopic features.
