Abstract Text For treating large colonic polyps, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) may be selected for securing en bloc resection. Bipolar snare is expected to be safer than monopolar one as the current passes only through the tissue between the two electrodes. We demonstrate EMR with bipolar snare (B-EMR) in two video cases in which en bloc resections were successfully and safely achieved in 10 minutes. For eligible large polyps, time-consuming ESD can be substituted by the easier and safer B-EMR with securing en bloc resection [1].
