Core Tip
Core Tip: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening was initiated and implemented over the last two decades with a widespread variability in strategies and coverage in different parts of Europe even after the first appearance of the European guidelines for CRC screening. Recurrent or previously manipulated lesions are usually fibrotic with tethering to the muscularis and display the non-lifting sign, making subsequent resection challenging. The EndoRotor® Endoscopic Powered Resection System is a powered debridement device for the removal of alimentary tract mucosa, including post-endoscopic mucosal resection persistent lesions with scarring, and has both CE Mark and FDA clearance. This review covers available published evidence documenting the usefulness of EndoRotor for the management of recurrent scarred colorectal polyps.
