CSP: A Comparison of the Resection Rate of Cold Snare Polypectomy for Large (10-15 mm) and Small (5-9 mm) Colorectal Polyps
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Colorectal cancer remains the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Colonoscopy allows removal of adenomatous polyps is the best colorectal cancer screening, according to the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Recent studies have reported approximately 30% of interval cancer may be incomplete polyp resection. Complete polyp resection may be particularly important when implementing new methods for surveillance colonoscopies. Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is considered to be a safer procedure for removing subcentimeter lesions than conventional hot snare polypectomy (HSP). CSP removal of polyps sized ≤5 mm have recommended by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline as the preferred technique. Previous report said that the complete resection rate of CSP for adenomatous polyps 4-9 mm in size was comparable to that of HSP, and in the foreseeable future CSP can be one of the standard techniques for 4-9 mm colorectal polyps. However, data on complete resection of colorectal polyps 1.0-1.5 mm in size is sparse. Investigators are interested in comparison of the resection rate of cold snare polypectomy for large (10-15 mm) and small (5-9 mm) colorectal polyps using CSP.

Detailed Description
Participantswho meet inclusion criteria will be asked to participate, investigators will include all patients with resectable polyps, but only adenomatous polyps will be included for analysis. See also inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Colonoscopy, after bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol solution was performed using standard colonoscopes (CF-HQ290I, CF-Q260AI) and polypectomy snares(13mm Captivator and 10mm Captivator II).
All procedures were performed by experienced endoscopists (each with over 1000 colonoscopies performed) including CSP. All polyps between 5 and 15mm will be removed with a polypectomy snare. Polyp size will be measured using the tip of the snare catheter (2.5mm). Difficulty of resection will be grade by polyp resection time. Following the resection, jet stream of water will be used to wash mucosal defect thoroughly. After endoscopist's attestation that polyp removal was complete by carefully observe the resection margins with near focus mode, for large lesions (10-15mm) 4 biopsies will be performed from all four quadrants of resection margins, for small lesions (5-9mm) biopsies were performed from two marginal sites located symmetrically on the left and right of the mucosal defects to confirm residual polyp tissue.
If polyp resection is complicated by bleeding (not self-sustained), no biopsies will be taken and any additional polyps that will be found during the remaining examination will be excluded from analysis. Severe bleeding that will complicate resection margins examination will be excluded from analysis, Endoscopic haemostasis will be performed when active haemorrhage continued for ≥30s.
A single research subject may have many eligible polyps. To avoid taking many biopsies, the investigators will not include more than 5 eligible polyps (the first 5 that are detected) per patient in the study.
Laboratory Analysis:
The polyps will be evaluated by experienced pathologists according to Vienna classification. Resection margins for each polyp will be recorded as: R0= adenomatous tissue free, R1=adenomatous tissue detection. Investigators will only include adenomatous polyps in the analysis. for financial requests of the resection margin biopsies. The pathological diagnosis of the biopsies will become part of the medical record. If biopsies contain adenomatous tissue the participants will be ask to return for a follow-up colonoscopy within six month.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- incomplete CSP resection rate of neoplastic polyps and subgroup analyses of possible factors that could contribute to an incomplete resection [six months]
Incomplete resection was presence of neoplastic tissue from histopathologic examination of polyp margin biopsies. Subgroup included polyp size (5-7mm/8 -9mm/10 -15mm), location (right/left side was defined proximal/distal to the splenic flexure), location with respect to colonic folds (between/on the fold or not), flat morphology (measured by the tip of the 2.4-mm snare catheter), en bloc vs piecemeal resection, a snare exclusively designed as a cold snare versus traditional polypectomy snare, Neoplastic polyps( Adenoma, sessile serrated adenomas/polyps, high-grade dysplasia), and ease of polyp resection (easy or 30s; moderately difficult or 30-60s, difficult or 60s).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- polypectomy procedure times [six months]
Time required for resection was defined as the time between the insertion of the snare into working channel to the end of polyp resection
- the rates of procedure-related complications [six months]
Delayed bleeding was defined as haemorrhage after colonoscopy requiring endoscopic haemostasis;submucosal disruption; perforation
Other Outcome Measures
- adequate assessment of the polyp lateral or vertical margin [1 year]
Pathological assessment
- margins assess after resection [1 year]
narrow band imaging to delineate polyp margins
