Primary Endpoint
The incomplete resection rates in polyps from Group 1 (clear margins) versus Group 2 (positive margins).

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to ensure that polyps are completely removed by evaluating the borders of the removed polyp. If a polyp is found that meets the size requirements for the study, the investigators will take extra biopsies of the margin to determine if there is any abnormal tissue or cancer at these borders.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 40-80

Exclusion Criteria

  • Coagulopathy (international normalized ratio >2)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease or other active colitides
  • Polyps of index colonoscopy that were felt not to be completely resected or pedunculated

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The incomplete resection rates in polyps from Group 1 (clear margins) versus Group 2 (positive margins).

Time Frame: Between 3-6 months

Define the frequency of free margins versus margins that have dysplasia to the cautery site in snare polypectomy. A free margin is defined as uninvolved or normal mucosa extending to the cautery margin at the polypectomy stalk.

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
