The jumbo capacity cold forceps polypectomy technique is performed via the following method: After inspection of the polyp, one or more biopsies are taken of the polyp followed by retrieval of the specimens directly from the biopsy forceps. Thereafter, the polypectomy site is vigorously irrigated and visually inspected for evidence of residual polypoid tissue. If residual polypoid tissue is suspected, additional biopsies are taken until the site is considered devoid of polypoid tissue. The total number of bites required for visual completion of polypectomy is recorded.
