Efficacy and safety of cold forceps polypectomy utilizing the jumbo cup: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

There are few prospective studies on cold forceps polypectomy (CFP) using jumbo cup forceps. Therefore, we examined patients with diminutive polyps (5 mm or smaller) treated with CFP using jumbo cup forceps to achieve an adenoma-free colon and also assessed the safety of the procedure and the recurrence rate of missed or residual polyp after CFP by performing follow-up colonoscopy 1 year later.

Methods

We included patients with up to 5 adenomas removed at initial colonoscopy and analyzed data from a total of 361 patients with 573 adenomas. One-year follow-up colonoscopy was performed in 165 patients, at which 251 lesions were confirmed.

Results

The one-bite resection rate with CFP was highest for lesions 3 mm or smaller and decreased significantly with
