Summary

This study looks at whether starting to eat within 24 hours after a colon polyp removal procedure (called ESD) is safe and better than waiting longer. About 204 patients will be randomly assigned to either early feeding (water after 2 hours, then liquid diet) or delayed feeding (fasting until the next day). The goal is to see if early eating leads to fewer complications like bleeding, and improves patient satisfaction.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: dietary restart timing (early vs. delayed feeding)
What this could lead to: If early feeding is safe, patients may be able to eat sooner after colorectal ESD, leading to shorter hospital stays and higher satisfaction.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (204 participants) and may not detect rare complications. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
