Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 90. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Polyp spanning 2 or more colonic folds
• Polyp > 20mm
• Polyp spanning greater than 50% of the colonic circumference
• Positive "lift sign" following submucosal injection of saline beneath the polyp
• Difficult location or position of the polyp, thus preventing assurance of complete endoscopic resection.

You may not qualify if…

• Polyps with histological evidence of adenocarcinoma
• Polyps in the rectum (<15cm from anal verge)
• Patients with known inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
• Patients with known familiar adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome
• Polyps without known histology (i.e. not previously biopsied)
• Polyps with large ulcerations, or those that demonstrate a "non-lift sign" during submucosal injection at the time of colonoscopy; as these are indicators of adenocarcinoma .
• Severe cardio-pulmonary disease, or irreversible coagulopathy, preventing abdominal surgery at an acceptable risk.
• POSSUM predicted mortality score greater than 2%
• Inability to obtain informed consent
• Patients under the age of 18
• Pregnant patients
