Abstract
The removal of small colon polyps by cold snare transection without electrocautery
effectively eliminates polyps, and anecdotal reports indicate a low risk of bleeding
and perforation. Concerns about using cold snaring have centered on the risk of immediate
bleeding and the difficulty in retrieving the polyp. The objective was to determine
the retrieval rates of polyps after cold snaring after two different methods of resection
and retrieval.
