Zusammenfassung:A system for excision of abnormal tissue includes a sealant material having an uncured configuration which allows the sealant material to be readily injected between target tissue and underlying tissue and a cured configuration wherein the sealant material acts as a substantially solid barrier between the target tissue and underlying tissue. The sealant material acts to initially separate or lift the target tissue relative to the underlying tissue to facilitate excision of the target tissue via a snare, wire loop, forceps, knife, scissors and/or combinations thereof. After excision of the target tissue, the sealant acts to seal the underlying tissue from the surrounding environment.
