Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome measure is the incomplete resection rate of sessile polyps measuring 10-19mm as determined by the histological examination of polypectomy site biopsies.1`<br><br><br>Incomplete resection is defined as the presence of residual polyp in the biopsies taken from the polyp resection margins or from the central area of the polypectomy defect. <br><br> [Primary endpoint is assessed at the time of the index proedure and further on day 14 post procedure. ]
