Reason for inability to endoscopically manage recurrent/residual adenoma at SC1 follow-up (n=7)

Deep extension into appendiceal orifice (not recognised at initial resection of large lesion)1
Deep extension into ileocaecal valve and ileum (not recognised at initial resection of large lesion)2
Extensive submucosal fibrosis2
Assessed as high risk for SMIC so referred to surgery2
  • SC1, first surveillance colonoscopy performed 4 months after WF-EMR; SMIC, submucosal invasive cancer; WF-EMR, wide-field endoscopic mucosal resection.
