A Randomized Trial Comparing the Effectiveness of Polyp Resection Treatments (Hot Snare vs Cold Snare vs Hot EMR vs Cold EMR)

The study will compare the use of cold snare, hot snare, cold EMR, and hot EMR for polyp
resection. Although previous studies have compared two of the potential resection methods, no
previous study has evaluated all four of the resection methods.

The optimal method for removal of polyps 6-9 and 10-15 mm in size is not established. In this
study, we propose to evaluate four different treatments for polyps (sized 6mm-15mm). The four
treatments are cold snaring without injection, hot snaring without injection, cold EMR, and
hot EMR. This study aims to help to establish the optimal resection technique for 6-9 and
10-15 mm polyps.

Inclusion Criteria:
