Cold vs. Hot Loop Snare for Medium Colon Polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a single, non-cancerous colon polyp that is 10 to 14 mm in size
- The polyp should be a flat or slightly raised type (Is or II on the Paris classification)
- You are 18 years or older
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form for the procedure
- You cannot have a very high risk of bleeding (INR > 1.5) or be on dialysis
- You cannot have inflammatory bowel disease or a history of the same polyp coming back

This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
This trial compares two ways of removing small (4-10 mm) colon polyps that have a stalk: one using a cold snare and one using a hot snare. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, helping you reduce your risk of polyps returning.
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 study compares two ways of removing small colon polyps (4–9 mm) that stick out like mushrooms. Both methods use a snare during a colonoscopy; one uses cold (without heat) and the other uses heat (cautery). The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for removing these polyps.
This study compares two ways to remove flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy: one uses a cold snare (no heat) and the other uses a hot snare (with heat). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for removing medium-sized polyps.
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.
