In a randomized controlled trial (RCT) performed at 8 hospitals in 4 countries, patients with nonpedunculated polyps ranging in size from 4 to 9 mm were randomized 1:1 to cold snare polypectomy (CSP) versus hot snare polypectomy (HSP). There were 318 polyps removed by CSP and 283 removed by HSP, with incomplete resection rates of 10.7% and 7.4%, respectively. The adjusted risk difference of 3.2% was not significant. Incomplete resection was determined by 2 biopsies from the margins of 4- to 6-mm lesions and 3 biopsies from the margins of 7- to 9-mm lesions. There were no significant complications in either arm. Overall rates of incomplete resection were 5.8% for adenomas, 22.5% for sessile serrate lesions (SSLs), and 13.9% for hyperplastic polyps. The odds ratios for incomplete resection were 3.96 for lesions with SSL histology and 2.52 for hyperplastic histology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
