Summary

This study tests whether a technique called cold snare polypectomy can safely remove 10-20 mm colon polyps without using heat. About 120 adults will have their polyps removed this way during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works well and causes fewer complications than traditional methods.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: cold snare polypectomy (device procedure)
What this could lead to: If successful, this technique could offer a safer, simpler way to remove medium-sized polyps during colonoscopy, reducing the need for electrocautery and its risks.
What could go wrong: This is an early feasibility study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The procedure may fail to remove some polyps or cause bleeding.
