<unk>  involves the use of a jet of ionized<unk>  gas (plasma) directed through a probe passed through the endoscope. The probe is placed at some distance from the bleeding lesion, and<unk>  gas is emitted, then ionized by a high-voltage discharge (approx 6kV). High-frequency electric current is then conducted through the jet of gas, resulting in<unk>  of the bleeding lesion. As no physical contact is made with the lesion, the procedure is safe if the bowel has been cleaned of colonic gases, and can be used to treat bleeding in parts of the gastrointestinal tract with thin walls, such as the cecum. The depth of<unk>  is usually only a few millimetres.<unk>  is used to treat the following conditions: * angiodysplasias, anywhere in the GI tract * gastric antral vascular ectasia, or watermelon stomach * colonic polyps after polypectomy * radiation proctitis * esophageal cancer
