Piecemeal resection using cold snares is effective and safe for the removal of large sessile serrated polyps, with an extremely low risk for bleeding, new research shows.
Sessile serrated polyps are increasingly recognized as precursors to colorectal cancer. Polypectomy is a fundamental cornerstone of cancer prevention. However, the optimal technique remains unclear, particularly for larger lesions.
The current polypectomy paradigm is based on size. Polyps 9 mm or smaller are removed with cold
