Removal of diminutive colorectal polyps: A prospective randomized clinical trial between cold snare polypectomy and hot forceps biopsy

Table 4 Outcomes and adverse events in terms of the snares used for cold snare polypectomy

	Profile snare (95%CI)	Captivator-II snare (95%CI)	P value
Endoscopic evaluation	88/88 = 100%	59/60 = 98.3%	0.41
En-bloc resection rate with free cut-margin	(95.9%-100.0%)	(91.2%-100.0%)
Pathologic evaluation	75/88 = 85.2%	44/60 = 73.3%	0.09
Complete resection rate with free cut-margin	(76.1%-91.9%)	(60.3%-83.9%)
Histological tissue injury	0/88 = 0%	2/60 = 3.3%	0.16
	(0.0%-4.1%)	(0.4%-11.5%)
Adverse event
Immediate bleeding	9/88 = 10.2%	4/60 = 6.7%	0.56
	(4.8%-18.5%)	(1.8%-16.2%)
Delayed bleeding	0	0
Perforation	0	0

There were no differences in the type or number of polyps in these groups. CSP: Cold snare polypectomy.
