Prophylactic clips effectively reduce postpolypectomy bleeding (PPB) for large, non-pedunculated polyps, particularly in the proximal colon and for patients on antithrombotics. They also control immediate bleeding from large pedunculated polyps.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Colonoscopy is crucial for detecting and removing precancerous lesions.
  • Postpolypectomy bleeding (PPB) is a potential complication following colonoscopic polypectomy.
  • The efficacy of prophylactic clip application for preventing PPB is not definitively established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on the effectiveness of prophylactic clips in minimizing postpolypectomy bleeding.
  • To offer expert guidance on the appropriate use of prophylactic clips in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase.
  • 671 publications were screened, with 67 relevant studies selected for analysis.
  • Data on clip use, polyp features, and adverse events were extracted and synthesized.

Main Results:

  • Prophylactic clipping is most advantageous for non-pedunculated polyps ≥20 mm, especially in the proximal colon.
  • The benefit of clipping smaller or distal polyps is less certain.
  • Patients on antithrombotic medications, particularly anticoagulants, may benefit from prophylactic clipping due to increased bleeding risk.

Conclusions:

  • Prophylactic clips are beneficial for preventing delayed bleeding after removing large non-pedunculated polyps, particularly in the proximal colon and in patients on antithrombotics.
  • For large pedunculated polyps, prophylactic clipping is effective in managing immediate bleeding.
