Comparing two ways to remove small colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods for removing small grape-like polyps (less than 10mm) from the colon during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for you.

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 trial tests two methods—EMR (a snare with electric current) and CSP (a cold snare without current)—to see which works better for removing small, flat colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It may help you if you have a growth found during a colonoscopy that is less than 10mm and has certain harmless features.
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 tests which technique best removes medium-sized colon polyps (10–20 mm). It may help you get a safer, more complete removal and reduce the chance of needing repeat procedures.
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 tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
