Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Comparing the complete removal rate of cold biopsy forceps versus cold snare biopsy for removing colon polyps
We will investigate the complete removal rate of colon polyps by using two different methods, cold biopsy forceps or cold snare biopsy. After removal of polyps by one of these two methods, the remnant lesion will be biopsied to study if there are any remnant tissues in order to find out the complete removal rate.
up to 3 years
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Bleeding rate after removal of colon polyps by using cold biopsy forceps or cold snare biopsy
participants will be followed up for 1 month
Study Arms (2)
Cold biopsy forceps
ACTIVE COMPARATORCold biopsy forceps for removal of colon polyps
Cold Snare Biopsy
ACTIVE COMPARATORCold snare biopsy for removal of colon polyps
