Summary
Although endoscopic colonic polypectomy has been an established procedure for two decades,
the risk of bleeding is still higher after resecting of pedunculated polyps, because of the
presence of a large artery in the stalk. Preventive methods such as endoloop and epinephrine
injection have been proposed in the management of postpolypectomy bleeding in large colonic
polyps. For prophylactic clip, there was no randomized controlled study assessing the
efficacy in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding for the large pedunculated polyps. So
the investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to confirm the efficacy of
application of prophylactic clip in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding in large
polyps.
