Su1694 COLD SNARE POLYPECTOMY APPEARS SAFE FOR THE RESECTION OF SMALL PEDUNCULATED POLYPS

Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is the primary technique for resecting colorectal polyps ≤10mm. The technique is effective, efficient, and eliminates the risk of delayed bleeding and perforation. However, data regarding the safety of CSP for pedunculated polyps is sparse. We hypothesized that CSP can be safely used for the resection of small pedunculated polyps ≤10mm.
