THE PURPOSE OF THIS LITERATURE WAS TO EVALUATE THE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH A SUCCESSFUL EN BLOC RESECTION USING UNDERWATER ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL RESECTION (UEMR) TO PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR THE CLINICIANS TO SELECT WHICH PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR UEMR. IN THE LITERATURE, IT WAS REPORTED AS FOLLOWS; THE STUDY COMPRISED 160 PATIENTS WHO WERE 173 COLORECTAL POLYPS WERE REMOVED WITH UEMR. OF ALL 160 PATIENTS, 101 (63.1%) PATIENTS WERE MALE, AND THE MEAN AGE WAS 65.17 ± 11.73 YEARS OLD (RANGE: 30-91 YEARS OLD). THIRTEEN (7.5%) OF THE PATIENTS HAD MORE THAN ONE POLYP DURING THE PROCEDURE AND RECEIVED MORE THAN ONE UEMRS. COLONOSCOPIES WERE PERFORMED WITH A CONVENTIONAL COLONOSCOPE (CF-Q260AL, CF-H290L) OR A MAGNIFYING PEDIATRIC COLONOSCOPE (PCF-Q260AZI). A TRANSPARENT HOOD (D-201-13 404) WAS APPLIED FOR EVERY COLONOSCOPY. AN OVAL STANDARD POLYPECTOMY SNARE (SD-12U-1, SD-210U-25, OR SD-230U-20) WAS USED DEPENDING ON THE LESION SIZE. AFTER THE POLYP WAS FIRMLY SNARED, THE SURGEON RESECTED IT WITH AN INTERRUPTED CUT
