This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of "Resection of large colon adenomas". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
Endoscopic resection of adenomas prevents bowel cancer. However, the optimal technique for larger lesions is controversial. Piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has a low side effect rate but a variable recurrence rate, which necessitates early follow-up. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), on the other hand, can reduce the recurrence rate but increase the number of adverse events. It is therefore necessary to compare the two procedures for large colon adenomas.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to improve the didactics of the videos. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
At the end of this course you will know
- the clinical background and relevance of the research question under investigation
- the study design and methodology of the publication to answer the research question
- the results and key takeaways of the publication
- the conclusion of the publication and possible limitations
