Cold snare polypectomy is now considered the resection method of choice for colorectal lesions \u226410 mm in size. Dedicated snares with a wire diameter about one-third thinner than standard snares are often used and now commercially available from several companies. In a multicenter randomized trial, 660 patients with lesions \u226410 mm in size had 1 lesion each randomized to cold snare polypectomy using either a thin- or thick-wire snare. After resection, 2 specimens were taken by biopsy from the margin of the mucosal defect to assess completeness of resection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Margin biopsy results were positive in 0.9% of 339 lesions treated with the thin wire and 2.2% of 321 lesions treated with the thick wire (P<\/em>=.21). Cold snare protrusion was more common with the thick wire than the thin wire (32.4% vs 25.1%; P<\/em>=.04).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cold snare polypectomy is now considered the resection method of choice for colorectal lesions \u226410 mm in size.
