The multicenter, prospective, international clinical study assessed the safety and effectiveness of an endoscopic powered resection (EPR) system for scarred adenomatous colorectal lesions. Among the 45 per-protocol patients with 48 lesions treated solely with the EPR device, technical success was achieved in 98% of patients. Adverse events were limited, including two delayed self-limited bleeds and one perforation, with no cases of colon stenosis. Completeness of resection and histopathological diagnosis were achieved in all patients. The study suggests EPR as a safe and effective alternative to surgery for persistent scarred colorectal adenomas.
