ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ И БЕЗОПАСНОСТЬ ХОЛОДНОЙ ПЕТЛЕВОЙ ПОЛИПЭКТОМИИ ПРИ ПОЛИПАХ ТОЛСТОЙ КИШКИ РАЗМЕРОМ ≤ 8 ММ

The aim of the study was to test effectiveness and safety of cold snare polypectomy in small colonic polyps ≤8 mm in size. Method. In all, 148 consecutive patients with 308 small colorectal polyps were treated with cold snare polypectomy (CSP). Results. The average polyp size was 5.2±1.8 mm. 93.6% of polyps have been retrieved. Lost polyps were smaller then retrieved ones 3.8±1.5 mm vs 5.3±1.7 mm (р=0,0002). R0 resection has been achieved in 88.9% of cases. Serrated morphology was the only risk factor for R1 resection (р=0,008). There was no perforation or delayed bleeding. Intraprocedural bleeding was rate was 1.6% Conclusion. The data show that the CSP technique is safe and effective for small polyp removal.
