Bridging polyp in an anastomosis resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection（ESD).

A 60-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for routine postoperative review of colon cancer. He underwent a colonoscopy, which showed a bridge-like polyp located 13 cm from the anal verge, with the base of the polyp located 1.5 cm above the anastomosis and the head of it located on the anastomosis and fusion growth with the anastomosiz. The patient accepted ESD to remove the lesion. During the ESD procedure, the basal of the polyp was incised using an insulated-tip knife, when the polyp tip located at the anastomosis was gradually dissected with a hook knife, severe fibrosis and three staples was found in the submucosal. We carefully separated the scar tissue and pulled out staples with hook knife in electrocision mode. Finally, we removed the lesion completely.
