Compare removal of colon polyps with hot vs cold snare
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares two ways doctors remove certain colon polyps during colonoscopy: “hot snare” versus “cold snare.” It’s looking at whether one method removes polyps better and with fewer problems for people with polyps that are 10–15 mm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two methods (cold snare and hot snare) for removing small, stalked polyps in the colon, to see which is safer and works better. It may help you if you have polyps found during a colonoscopy.
This study compares two ways to remove small to medium-sized colon polyps: using a cold snare (a wire loop that cuts without heat) or a hot snare (a wire loop that uses heat to cut and seal the area). The goal is to see which method is safer and works better for polyps that are 4 to 9 millimeters in size.
This trial compares two techniques (cold vs. hot loop snare) to remove medium-sized, non-cancerous colon polyps. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective for polyps that are 10–14 mm and flat or slightly raised.
This study compares two techniques for removing flat colon polyps (growths) that are 10-20 mm in size: cold snare (using a wire loop without heat) and hot snare (using heat). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective.
This trial compares two different ways of removing small colorectal polyps (growths in the colon) — using a cold snare (a thin wire loop) or a cold forceps (tiny grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective for removing polyps smaller than 10 mm.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
