This eliminates the time needed to exchange instruments, and it may be a safer, easier alter- native than a hot biopsy or snare when it comes to removing flat polyps. Compared with energy-based devices, which may cause ther- mal injury to adjacent tissue, the EndoRotor uses suction pressure to pull in mucosa and an inner rotating blade to cut it. Residual tissue, including lateral margins, can be evacuated to a specimen trap. Clinically, this may be useful in a minority of colon lesions, and may require a significant learning curve.
