Summary

* Cold forceps polypectomy and hot biopsy forceps electrocauterization (HBF) are still widely used methods for endoscopic resection of diminutive colorectal polyps (DCPs)(polyps smaller than 5 mm). Jumbo forceps may be more effective in the removal of DCPs because of their larger size.
* This was a prospective study of consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy and found to have at least one diminutive polyp. One experienced endoscopist removed DCPs using either jumbo or hot biopsy forceps.
* Aim was to evaluate the histological quality and adequacy of the DCPs resected using jumbo forceps in comparison with HBF.
