SAN DIEGO—For the removal of nonpedunculated polyps up to 3 mm, cold forceps polypectomy is not inferior to cold snare polypectomy and requires significantly less time for resection, according to the largest-ever randomized trial comparing the approaches.
“In the TINYPOLYP trial, we found that cold forceps polypectomy had a shorter mean polypectomy time as compared to cold snare polypectomy, while maintaining a high complete resection rate—98.3% in both groups,” said
