Resumen:
Polypectomy is an essential skill for all endoscopists performing lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Different polypectomy tools and techniques have evolved and it is important that endoscopists are familiar with these so they can select the most appropriate technique for each polyp. This narrative review updates the different concepts in tailoring polypectomy technique to the characteristics of polyps. Effective polypectomy requires different components, including the following: (1) careful evaluation of the polyp; (2) decision making about optimal polyp management; (3) actual polypectomy, which includes careful positioning of the endoscope and polyp; and (4) postpolypectomy evaluation of the results in terms of completeness of resection and prophylaxis of complications.
