Core Tip	A “difficult” colorectal lesion (DCRL) is defined as any lesion that due to its size, shape and location or due to fibrosis as a consequence of previous attempts of endoscopic resection (ER), makes it difficult to remove. Patients with DCRLs are often referred to surgeons for surgical colorectal resection. In our institution, for all patients referred for colorectal surgical resection for DCRLs, the surgeons request an endoscopic re-evaluation and if possible an ER of the lesions. The purpose of this study was to review our results with this approach.
