Su1736 ENDOSCOPIC REMOVAL OF COLORECTAL POLYPS ≥ 10 MM USING COLD-SNARE RESECTION TECHNIQUES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND POOLED-ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLISHED LITERATURE

Hot snare resection (HSR) techniques, polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) are the current standard of care for the removal of colorectal polyps ≥10mm. However, conventional EMR has been associated with a post-resection bleeding rate of 2.2%-7 % and polyp recurrence rate of 12.7%. To avoid the risk of electrocautery-induced damage with HSR, cold snare resection (CSR) techniques (polypectomy and cold-EMR) have recently been advocated. There are no published RCTs comparing HSR vs. CSR for polyps ≥ 10 mm.
