Core Tip
Core Tip: We compared endoscopic cold snare polypectomy (CSP) with conventional endoscopic mucosal resection in 193 patients with 5-15 mm colorectal polyps. CSP demonstrated advantages in postoperative recovery, including shorter operative time, reduced hospitalization, and lower fasting rates on the day of surgery. Despite similar complete resection rates and no perforation in both groups, CSP showed a marginally lower but statistically comparable bleeding risk within 3 postoperative days postoperatively. With comparable safety profiles and superior recovery outcomes, CSP has emerged as a practical option for small-to-medium-sized colorectal polyps aligned with fast-track surgical goals.
