The details of the proposed study are as follows:~Experimental group: using cold forceps for polyps <=3mm of the colon~Control group: using cold snare for polyps <=3mm of the colon~Methods:~Colonoscopy will be performed in the same standard of care manner as if no study was taking place.~If polyps <=3mm are identified, the endoscopist is randomized to performing polypectomy with cold forcep or cold snare.~After removal of the polypectomy, two biopsies are performed at the margin of the polypectomy site to identify residual lesion.~The polyp as well as well as the two biopsies are reviewed by a pathologist.
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of cold forcep and cold snare in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps <=3mm during colonoscopy.
