An exam of the lower part of the colon and rectum using a rigid scope, during which a growth or abnormal tissue that cannot be simply removed with grasping tools or a wire loop is instead destroyed in place using heat or another ablation method.

It differs from simpler versions of the exam that only remove tissue for a biopsy or take out a polyp that can be captured and removed intact.
