Sealing the edges after removing large colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to seal the edges of the area where a large colon polyp was removed. It may help reduce the chance that the polyp comes back.

This study follows patients who are having surgery to remove a specific type of flat colon growth. It aims to see how safe and effective a “selective” approach is, based on what the growth looks like and your situation.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
This trial tests a special stitching device that closes the area after removing a large colon polyp during a procedure called ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection). The goal is to reduce the risk of bleeding or tears after the polyp is removed.
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.
This study tests a new way to remove large colon polyps to lower the chance they come back. It may help people who need a standard procedure called EMR to remove a large polyp.
