Meanings of piecemeal resection in anglès

Argon plasma coagulation is effective as an adjunct to piecemeal resection.

However, piecemeal resection makes it difficult to evaluate the completeness of the resection histopathologically.

En-bloc resection is done for lesions smaller than 2 cm in size, and piecemeal resection for those with a larger diameter.

In this study the efficacy of endoscopic piecemeal resection of large, sessile colorectal polyps was investigated after follow-up greater than 1 year.

Of the 42 patients treated with piecemeal resection, 23 (55%) required additional endoscopic or surgical interventions.

Conclusions: Endoscopic piecemeal resection after submucosal saline injection with an intensive follow-up program is a safe and effective treatment for large, sessile colorectal polyps.

Results: En bloc resection was performed in 85% of ECC patients, and piecemeal resection was performed in 15% of patients.

Twelve piecemeal resections and 3 en-bloc resections were performed.
