Summary

European guidelines recommend the use of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) for removal of diminutive colorectal polyps (DCP)(5 mm or less). However, for DCP \< 4 mm cold biopsy forceps (CBF) may be optional. Moreover, CBF remains the endoscopist's technique of choice for polyp resection and CSP is associated with a failure of specimen retrieval for histology in up to 6.8% of cases. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the efficacy of CSP with CBF for removal of DCP in routine colonoscopy

Conditions

  • Colorectal Polyps

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Polypectomy of diminutive colorectal polyps will be performed by CBF

All polypectomy procedures will be standardized amongst the study centers. Endoscopists with a minimal experience of at least 50 CBF and CSP performed the polypectomies CBF : The CBF will be performed using a standard biopsy forceps (Gluton Life ® Life Partners). Multiple biopsies bites were taken until complete resection (as many as needed).

PROCEDURE

Polypectomy of diminutive colorectal polyps will be performed by CSP

All polypectomy procedures will be standardized amongst the study centers. Endoscopists with a minimal experience of at least 50 CBF and CSP performed the polypectomies CSP : The CSB procedure will be performed using a 9 mm cold snare (Exacto ® Life Partners). One to two mm of normal surrounding mucosa will be ensnared around the base of the polyp, followed by mechanical excision without electrocautery
