Cold Snare Safer Than Hot Snare for 4- to 10-mm Colorectal Polyps in Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial
Cold snare polypectomy is now widely accepted as the treatment of choice for colorectal polyps 4 to 10 mm in size. Despite overwhelming evidence that
Cold Snare Polypectomy Failed for 10- to 20-mm Colorectal Polyps
Cold snare is now considered the polypectomy method of choice for polyps <10 mm in size, and recent studies have extended the use of cold
Cold Snare Polypectomy of Pedunculated Polyps ≤10 mm: Choking Stalk for ≥10 Seconds Before Resection Reduces Immediate Bleeding
Cold snare polypectomy is now accepted as safer than hot resection of lesions ≤10 mm in size, though it is still widely believed that electrocautery
