Endoscopic techniques to reduce recurrence after EMR of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps

We congratulate Radadiya et  al1 on their recent study comparing various EMR techniques for large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps by using indirect pairwise comparison. However, their study included observational studies and randomized control trials (RCTs), which limits the ability to draw conclusions. In support of this t opic, we performed a network meta-analysis of RCTs comparing various margin ablation techniques after EMR—snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) and argon plasma coagulation (APC)—with conventional EMR (CEMR) and underwater EMR (UEMR) to treat large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps.
