  Fig. 1. (A) Anchoring of the external snare to the over-the-scope clip demo cap. (B) Indigocarmine-enhanced visualization of the flat lesion deep in the appendiceal orifice from 8 to 2 o´clock. (C) Release of the external snare by forward pushing, with subsequent forceps-assisted positioning around the lesion (not shown). (D) Successful forceps traction with tenting into the external snare and resection. Inset: clean resection with a formal, albeit not adequately validated in this specific situation, “target sign” at the base before clip closure.
