Advanced endoscopic resection techniques significantly enhance treatment for colorectal polyps, achieving higher en bloc resection rates compared to traditional methods. En bloc resection rates for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) range from 44.5% to 63%, while endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) boasts rates between 87.9% and 96%. ESD is effective for larger polyps and certain carcinomas, with lower recurrence rates (0.9%-2%) compared to EMR (7.4%-17%). Complications remain manageable through coagulation and clipping techniques.
