Summary

Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is now common practice and has proven to be a safe and effective technique for removal of diminutive polyps. Both thick and thin wire snares are now commonly used for CSP. However, because of their physical characteristics, thick wire snares might leave a higher percentage of residual adenoma at the resection site. Since this may result in a higher risk of recurrence, the technique needs to be optimized. Experts have suggested that a thin wire snare might be more efficient, with a lower risk of residual adenoma at the resection site and consequently a lower risk of recurrence and interval cancer.
