A comparative study of the complications between hot snare and cold snare polypectomy / Монголын Анагаах Ухаан

ABSTRACT

@#Colorectal cancer remains one of the critical healthcare challenges nowadays. Most patients’ disease, especially colorectal polyps develop via the adenoma carcinoma sequence; using colonoscopy with polypectomy reduces both mortality and incidence by removing precancerous adenomas, which are called polyps. In recent years, colorectal cancer tends to increase among Asian population. There are only limited studies that have been conducted in Mongolia regarding colorectal polypectomy and its complications. Both cold polypectomy and hot polypectomy are accepted methods. In this study, we aim to compare the complications (bleeding, perforation) between cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP) of adenomas and hyperplastic polyps. After the procedure, repeated endoscopy will be performed to compare the incomplete resection rate (IRR) and complete resection rate (CRR) of mucosal residual and presence of recurrency. This will help us to investigate which of the two methods is most prevalent for polypectomy.
