Cold snare polypectomy vs. hot snare polypectomy vs. argon plasma coagulation for small (5-9 mm) left-sided colorectal polyps

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to compare recurrence rates among three endoscopic treatment modalities for 5–9 mm left-sided colorectal polyps. Material and Methods that were employed were consecutive adults referred for elective colonoscopy (1/2015–1/2018) with at least one polyp of eligible size (5–9 mm) located distally to the splenic flexure were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to one of three treatment modalities: (1) cold snare polypectomy (CSP), (2) hot snare polypectomy (HSP) and (3) argon plasma coagulation (APC) ablation (50–60 W, flow: 2 l/min). The polyp site was marked with an endoscopic tattoo, and a follow-up colonoscopy with scar biopsies was performed >6 months after the index procedure. Outcomes were polyp recurrence rate and occurrence of complications. As regards the results, one hundred nineteen patients were enrolled, of whom 112 (62.5% males, mean age 61.1 ± 9.9 years) with 121 polyps (CSP, 39; HSP, 45; APC, 37) returned for follow-up colonoscopy. The mean poly ...
