Brief Title: Evaluation of Cold Forcep and Cold Snare Polypectomy for Polyps Less Than or Equal to 3mm in Size During Colonoscopy
Official Title: Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating Cold Snare aNd Forcep polypectomY Among Small POLYPs in Rates of Complete Resection: the TINYPOLYP Trial.
Study ID: NCT04551001
Brief Summary: The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of cold forcep and cold snare in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps \<=3mm during colonoscopy.
Detailed Description: The details of the proposed study are as follows: 1. Experimental group: using cold forceps for polyps \<=3mm of the colon 2. Control group: using cold snare for polyps \<=3mm of the colon 3. Methods: 1. Colonoscopy will be performed in the same standard of care manner as if no study was taking place. 2. If polyps \<=3mm are identified, the endoscopist is randomized to performing polypectomy with cold forcep or cold snare. 3. After removal of the polypectomy, two biopsies are performed at the margin of the polypectomy site to identify residual lesion. 4. The polyp as well as well as the two biopsies are reviewed by a pathologist.
