[ Summary ] 1. Into the normal submucosal layer of the anus side of the lesion, physiologic saline is injected to create an artificial protrusion. The lesion should be positioned on top of the protrusion.
2. The snare with spikes (needles) is put around the lesion (wiring) and closed firmly until you feel the resistance.
3. The lesion is resected only with cutting current, as quickly as possible. If this is hard to do, wiring should be repeated from the beginning, since the snaring may be involving the muscular layer.
4. The resected lesion is quickly extracted with a pentapod so as not to injure it.
