Evaluating the outcomes and safety of underwater ampullectomy versus traditional (gas insufflation) ampullectomy (with video)
Post written by Anand Kumar, MD, MPH, from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. We compared outcomes such as rates of histologic negative margins, procedure times, and recurrence of underwater ampullectomy (UA) with traditional (gas insufflation) ampullectomy (TA) for polyps involving the ampulla. Underwater resection has proven advantages of higher en bloc resection, lower recurrence, and …
