          Abstract

          Cold snare polypectomy is now the preferred technique for resection of most small colorectal polyps. Endoscopists should be aware of a particular mucosal defect after cold snare polypectomy called the wick sign. The wick sign does not represent residual polyp and is not associated with adverse outcomes. Accurate identification is important to prevent unnecessary intervention. A case is presented here with characteristic findings after polypectomy.

            Characterization and significance of protrusions in the mucosal defect after cold snare polypectomy.

            Nicholas Burgess, Nicholas J. Tutticci, Michael J Bourke … (2015)
            Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is widely practiced; however, the endoscopic features of the CSP mucosal defect have not been studied. In particular, protrusions within the cold snare defect (CSDPs) may create concern for residual polyp. The frequency and constituents of this phenomenon are unknown.
