Esophageal varices ligation (EVL) was wildly used in the treatment of esophageal varices. The local points after EVL selleck inhibitor will start avascular necrosis, which is a minimal-invasive process of chronic mucosal excision. According to the theory, in this study, we practice a new method endoscopic rectal mucosa ligation (ERML) for treatment of RMP. And satisfactory treatment effectiveness was provided. Herein, we introduce this novel approach of minimal-invasive treatment of RMP by endoscopic rectal mucosa ligation, and its curative effect was discussed. We hope the novel approach may be used widely as an alternative to surgical amputation to treat rectal mucosal prolapse. Methods: Two patients with RMP admitted

by our hospital selleck chemicals were retrospectively analyzed. The colonoscope detection showed rectal mucosal prolapse accompanying with focal sores, and part darkorchid surface. Endoscopic ligation technique was taken to treat RMP in clinical practice. In detail,

the prolapsed rectal mucosa was pushed back and reseted to its original position, then the prolapsed rectal mucosa was ligated from mouth side to anus side by multiple band ligator (Speedband Superview Super7TM, Moo542251, Boston Scientific Pty Ltd) to unbrace the proplapsed rectal mucosa. Results: During and after the endoscopic intervention, the patients felt mild pain without other complains. Specifically, there was no any bleeding in the local damaged points during the follow-up observation periods. 7 days after the endoscopic intervention, the loop ablated automatically. And the RMP was fully recovered from illness condition followed the patients’ find more complains vanished. Conclusion: The novel approach of endoscopic rectal mucosa ligation by multiple band ligator in minimally-invasive condition shows promising results in patients with RMP. The economical method works rapidly, safety and effectively without bleeding and infection incidence, which makes

it worthy of further practice widely as an improved alternative in clinical works.

However, evidence for the efficacy of CBP is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy for the resection of diminutive polyps and identify predictors for complete resection using CBP. Methods: This was a prospective study from a tertiary referal hospital in Korea. A total of 196 patients were screened and 65 patients with diminutive polyps were enrolled. CBP was used to resect diminutive polyps until no polyp was visible with chromoendoscopy using indigocarmine spray.
