Cold snare polypectomy versus hot snare polypectomy in endoscopic treatment of small polyps

Abstract: Background/Aims: The removal of small colon polyps by hot snare polypectomy (HP) is a commonly used method. Polypectomy with a cold snare (CP) has been increasingly utilized in recent years. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Herein, we explored the efficacy and safety of each method. Materials and Methods: Between January 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012, 97 consecutive patients with small colorectal polyps ranging from 5-9 mm in size were separated into either the CP or HP group. Demographic data… Show more

“…Our study confirmed and concurs with previous studies that CSP is a very safe procedure and a justifiable choice of procedure in colorectal . The postoperative hemorrhage rate was 0.1% even though 52 patients (15.2%) were receiving various antithrombotic treatments.…”

“…Based on the title and abstract, 816 irrelevant studies were excluded. Evaluation of the full text of the remaining studies excluded eight more: observational studies ( n = 4), comparison with cold forceps ( n = 3) and comparison with hot forceps ( n = 1) . The remaining eight studies were included in this meta‐analysis …”

“…Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is increasingly being used as the preferred method of polypectomy, particularly for small polyps . An increasing number of publications suggest that CSP is at least as safe as HSP, particularly for polyps <10 mm in size, and efficacy data are trending in the same direction . The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraprocedural and postprocedural adverse events following CSP versus HSP for sessile polyps 10–20 mm in size.…”
