Background & Aims: Large sessile colon polyps often are referred for surgical resection, even when amenable to endoscopic resection. The aim of this study was to describe the resource use of endoscopic resection of large sessile colon polyps compared with small polyps with respect to physician time and equipment use. Methods: Retrospectively, procedure time, medication use, and equipment use were recorded for 184 consecutive patients with sessile colorectal polyps 2 cm or larger in size and for 184 consecutive control patients with only sessile polyps less than 2 cm in size or pedunculated polyps. Results: The mean duration of colonoscopy in patients with large sessile colon polyps averaged 51.4 (SD, 25.6) minutes compared with 20.0 (SD, 8.6) minutes for the control group (P
