Abstract

Adetachable snare was used for 24 polyps in gastrointestinal tract of 22 patients;211esions for prevention of hemorrhage after polypectomy and 31esions for endoscopichemostasis. We were able to prevent hemorrhage easily in 191esions but not in 21eSionsand to cease bleeding completely in all of 31esions. In addition, we introduced a successfulcase, who suffered from chronic lymphocytic leukemia with thrombocytepenia and bleeding tendency, in whom a polypectorny with the detachable anare was performed safely. On the other hand, since a few troubles about a detachable snare were experienced, thebenefits and problems of the detachable snare were discussed.
