Cold snare removal of medium colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to remove medium-sized colon polyps (10–20 mm) that have a stalk, using a cold snare (a wire loop that cuts without heat). It may help you avoid more complex procedures, and the study will check if this method is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You are having a colonoscopy for any reason.
- The doctor finds a polyp that is 10 to 20 millimeters (about the size of a small grape) and has a stalk (like a mushroom).
- You do not have serious health problems that make colonoscopy or polyp removal risky (for example, a recent heart attack, stroke, unstable heart disease, or a severe infection in your belly or colon).
- Your bowel preparation (the laxative you take before the test) is good enough for the doctor to see your entire colon safely.

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 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 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 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 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.
This trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
