    OLYMPUS REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING LITERATURE TITLED "POTENTIAL RISK DURING ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF LARGE DUODENAL POLYPS."

COMPLETE RESECTION OF THE VISIBLE MASS WAS ACHIEVED IN 96.9% OF CASES. THIS STUDY CONCLUDES THAT THE TALENTED ENDOSCOPISTS ARE CRITICALLY REQUIRED FOR ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF LARGE DUODENAL POLYPS. WHILE MOST IMMEDIATE ADVERSE EVENTS CAN BE MANAGED ENDOSCOPICALLY, ALL PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR DELAYED PERFORATION SHOULD BE APPLIED BEFORE COMPLETING EMR AS THESE USUALLY REQUIRE SURGICAL INTERVENTION. TYPE OF ADVERSE EVENTS/NUMBER OF PATIENTS. INTRAOPERATIVE BLEEDING - 12 PATIENTS. DELAYED PERFORATION - 2 PATIENTS. DELAYED BLEEDING - 7 PATIENTS. RECURRENCE - 11 PATIENTS.
