Tips and tricks
energy device in flexible
endoscopy
• Cutting mode = low energy
• Coagulation mode= high energy
So always consider cutting mode if possible
• Coagulation mode = delayed bleeding
• Cutting mode = initial bleeding but less
chance of delayed bleeding
• Capacitance coupling more in flexible
endoscopy than rigid endoscopy.
• So be smart to avoid its conciquence.
• Snare vs biopsy forcep
• More chance of coupling in case of biopsy
forcep than snare as snare is less in
diametre.
• Avoiding tricks
• During polypectomy lifting and tenting of
mucosa of gut.
• Wiggle the scope head.
• Its prevent burn injury to the base of the
polyp and adjacent coupling in gut mucosa
and gut wall.
• APC= monopolar,RFA=bipolar.
