endoscopic mucosal resection (emr)

How is EMR Performed?

The EMR procedure involves several steps:
Preparation: The patient undergoes bowel preparation and fasting to clear the GI tract.
Insertion: An endoscope is inserted through the mouth or anus, depending on the location of the lesion.
Injection: A solution is injected beneath the lesion to lift it from the underlying tissue, creating a cushion and reducing the risk of perforation.
Resection: Specialized instruments are used to snare and cut the lifted lesion, which is then retrieved for pathological examination.
