Removing large stalked colon polyps: a comparison of two methods
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to remove large, stalked polyps in the colon. One method uses water to lift the polyp before cutting it, and the other uses a small metal clip and a hot snare. The goal is to find which technique is safer and more effective.

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 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.
This trial compares two cold endoscopic techniques to remove certain large, non-cancerous colon polyps with better control of bleeding and leftover tissue. You may be offered one of the two removal methods during your scheduled colonoscopy.
This trial compares two special tools used to remove large, flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which tool is safer and more effective at removing the entire polyp in one piece, which may help avoid surgery.
