| [ Summary ] |
Removing diminutive adenomatous polyps, various techniques are utilized using ; cold biopsy forceps, hot biopsy forceps, hot snare, and cold snare were chosen. Since its application to practice, endoscopic resection techniques are generally decided according to polyp characterization. This has been based on size and morphology, though there have also been varied approaches adapted by individual endoscopists. More recently, studies have indicated the safety and efficacy of cold polypectomy techniques for diminutive polyps (≤5 mm) and small polyps (<10 mm) in size. Cold biopsy forceps polypectomy (CBP) is a simple and quick technique allowing complete resection of most diminutive polyps provided that the polypectomy site is assessed using narrow band imaging after water-jet irrigation of the targeted area. In addition, CBP using jumbo biopsy forceps designed with greater capacity for removing larger tissue samples is adequate for removing diminutive polyps safely and completely. |
