Brief Summary

Colorectal cancer remains the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Colonoscopy allows removal of adenomatous polyps is the best colorectal cancer screening, according to the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Recent studies have reported approximately 30% of interval cancer may be incomplete polyp resection. Complete polyp resection may be particularly important when implementing new methods for surveillance colonoscopies. Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is considered to be a safer procedure for removing subcentimeter lesions than conventional hot snare polypectomy (HSP). CSP removal of polyps sized ≤5 mm have recommended by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline as the preferred technique. Previous report said that the complete resection rate of CSP for adenomatous polyps 4-9 mm in size was comparable to that of HSP, and in the foreseeable future CSP can be one of the standard techniques for 4-9 mm colorectal polyps. However, data on complete resection of colorectal polyps 1.0-1.5 mm in size is sparse. Investigators are interested in comparison of the resection rate of cold snare polypectomy for large (10-15 mm) and small (5-9 mm) colorectal polyps using CSP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • incomplete CSP resection rate of neoplastic polyps and subgroup analyses of possible factors that could contribute to an incomplete resection

    Incomplete resection was presence of neoplastic tissue from histopathologic examination of polyp margin biopsies. Subgroup included polyp size (5-7mm/8 -9mm/10 -15mm), location (right/left side was defined proximal/distal to the splenic flexure), location with respect to colonic folds (between/on the fold or not), flat morphology (measured by the tip of the 2.4-mm snare catheter), en bloc vs piecemeal resection, a snare exclusively designed as a cold snare versus traditional polypectomy snare, Neoplastic polyps( Adenoma, sessile serrated adenomas/polyps, high-grade dysplasia), and ease of polyp resection (easy or 30s; moderately difficult or 30-60s, difficult or 60s).

    six months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • polypectomy procedure times

    six months

  • the rates of procedure-related complications

    six months

Other Outcomes (2)

  • adequate assessment of the polyp lateral or vertical margin

    1 year

  • margins assess after resection

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

small polyps

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Cold snare polypectomy ; Polyp size will be measured using the tip of the snare catheter (2.5mm).Small (5-9 mm) colorectal polyps will be removed with a polypectomy snare. Following the resection, jet stream of water will be used to wash mucosal defect thoroughly. After endoscopist's attestation that polyp removal was complete by carefully observe the resection margins with near focus mode, biopsies were performed from two marginal sites located symmetrically on the left and right of the mucosal defects to confirm residual polyp tissue.

Other: Cold snare polypectomy

large polyps

EXPERIMENTAL

Cold snare polypectomy; Polyp size will be measured using the tip of the snare catheter (2.5mm). Large (10-15 mm) colorectal polyps will be removed with a polypectomy snare. Following the resection, jet stream of water will be used to wash mucosal defect thoroughly. After endoscopist's attestation that polyp removal was complete by carefully observe the resection margins with near focus mode, 4 biopsies will be performed from all four quadrants of resection margins.

Other: Cold snare polypectomy

Interventions
