Cold snare polypectomy compared to cold forceps polypectomy for endoscopic resection of guideline defined diminutive polyps: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials
ConclusionCFP was comparable to CSP for the  resection of polyps ≤ 3 mm; however, caution should be taken for DCPs >  3 mm because of the low complete resection rate (<  90%).Graphical abstract (Source: Indian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Predictors of proximal migration of straight biliary plastic stents
ConclusionProximally migrated straight stents can be successfully retrieved using standard accessories. The use of 7-Fr size stent, stents indwelling for more than three  months, sphincteroplasty at index ERCP, stent length <  10 cm and dilated bile duct were associated with increased risk of proximal migration of straight biliary plastic stents. After propensity score matching, the use of 7-Fr size stents and stent indwelling for over three months were endoscopy-related factors associated with proximal migration.Graphical Abstract (Source: Indian Journal of Gastroenterology)
