Polyps sized 6mm to 15mm found during colonoscopy will be removed using cold snare techniques.

Polyps sized 6mm to 15mm found during colonoscopy will be removed using hot snare techniques.

Subjects randomized to Cold Snare Intervention will have any polyps sized 6mm to 15mm removed using cold snare techniques (no electrocautery, no submucosal injection.)

Hot EMR

Douglas K Rex, MD

The study will compare the use of cold snare, hot snare, cold EMR, and hot EMR for polyp resection. Although previous studies have compared two of the potential resection methods, no previous study has evaluated all four of the resection methods.

The optimal method for removal of polyps 6-9 and 10-15 mm in size is not established. In this study, we propose to evaluate four different treatments for polyps (sized 6mm-15mm). The four treatments are cold snaring without injection, hot snaring without injection, cold EMR, and hot EMR. This study aims to help to establish the optimal resection technique for 6-9 and 10-15 mm polyps.

Quad Resection (Hot Snare vs Cold Snare vs Hot EMR vs Cold EMR)

A Randomized Trial Comparing the Effectiveness of Polyp Resection Treatments (Hot Snare vs Cold Snare vs Hot EMR vs Cold EMR)

De-identified data may be shared in the future upon request per PI discretion.

Efficacy of resection will be assessed by biopsies in four quadrants of the perimeter of the defect post-resection and one biopsy from the center of the defect post-resection. Comparison of the biopsy pathology results for polyps removed by cold snare vs. hot snare vs. cold EMR vs. hot EMR. Negative means that there was no residual polyp tissue seen on the central post-resection biopsies. Positive means that there was residual polyp tissue seen on the central post-resection biopsies. Negative central post-resection biopsies are considered a better outcome.

Comparison of the biopsy pathology results for polyps removed by cold snare vs. hot snare vs. cold EMR vs. hot EMR. Negative means that there was no residual polyp tissue seen on the peripheral post-resection biopsies. Positive means that there was residual polyp tissue seen on the peripheral post-resection biopsies. Negative peripheral post-resection biopsies are considered a better outcome.

Study endoscopists are experts with special interest in polypectomy; serrated lesions were included in the study instead of only including adenomas; incomplete resections occurred in 10-15mm lesions so a study designed for 10-15mm or 10-20mm lesions may be more relevant; potential of proceduralist bias due to lack of endoscopist blinding; relying on biopsies of the defect instead of evaluation of scars at surveillance for determining efficacy
