Abstract

Endoscopic removal of colonic lipoma of 2 cm in size or more is not widely used because of the risk of complications which are a hemorrhage and a perforation associated with endoscopic resection. We report here safety endoscopic removal using a bipolar snare and clipping the mucosa of the defective region in three cases with large colonic lipoma. We consider that this technique enhanced the safety of the endoscopic procedure.
