Cold Snare Polypectomy - Polyp Resection Techniques Technique: • Dedicated cold snare grasps polyp and ideally a margin of normal tissue around polyp (without submucosal lift). Snare is closed and tissue is cut mechanically without the use of cautery. Indications: • En bloc resection for polyps up to 10mm Limitations: • Size generally limited by small snare size and limited ability to cut through tissue larger than 10mm • Possible diminished ability of margin assessment post resection given lack of cauterized margin • Depth of resection limited to mm or superficial sm, so not appropriate for resection of small cancer Dr. Enrik Aguila @enrrikke #Cold #Snare #Polypectomy #Polyp #Resection #Management #gastroenterology
