Core Tip
Core Tip: This study compares the clinical efficiency and safety of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) vs hot snare polypectomy (HSP) in the management of 10-19 mm non-pedunculated colorectal polyps. The results suggested that complete resection rate was comparable between the two groups. Procedure time, treatment cost, and length of hospital stay were lower in the CSP group than in the HSP showing the advantages of CSP. Notably, intraoperative bleeding rate is a little higher for CSP, which is essential to consider when choosing the surgical procedure.
