Introduction: Pedunculated colonic neoplasms include epithelial and non-epithelial lesions, depending on their growth may to have a large and long pedicle. Management of this lesions represent a challenge for the endoscopist, due this, many techniques have been described to minimize complications. Objective: This trial aims to evaluate the use of a non-factory endoloop in the endoscopic treatment of pedunculated neoplasms of the colon. Methods: Between January and April 2012 patients undergoing routine colonoscopy who had tumors with large and long pedicle were selected to perform endoscopic resection after base ligation with non-factory endoloop (made Cook Medical AcuSnare G22629 detachable standard oval and nylon loop with roeder's knot). Procedure time was evaluated, tumor type, location, immediate and late complications. Results: 4 patients were selected from a total of 110 undergoing routine colonoscopy (3.6 %), the mean age was 53.25 years, all males, the most common type of tumor was pedunculated adenomatous polyp, the most common location was the sigmoid colon, complete resection of the lesion was performed, there was no immediate or late complications. Conclusion: non-factory endoloop is a useful tool for the base control of neoplasm with large and long pedicle, including those non-epithelial.
