Cold Snare Polypectomy and Cold Endoscopic Mucosal Resection Versus Hot Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Intermediate‐Size Sessile Serrated Lesions: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Key Points

• To compare the effectiveness of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and cold endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) against hot EMR for removing intermediate-size sessile serrated lesions (SSLs).
• Conducted a randomized controlled trial
• Compared three techniques: CSP, cold EMR, and hot EMR
• Focused on intermediate-size SSLs
• CSP and cold EMR were effective alternatives to hot EMR
• Findings support recommendations for CSP and cold EMR in medical guidelines
• Further research needed on long-term residual rates
