This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority, multiple-center trial. Outpatients who are scheduled to undergo colonoscopy and found eligible polyps will be randomized to receive either cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR) or hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (HS-EMR). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of CS-EMR or HS-EMR for the resection of non-pedunculated colorectal polyps sized 10-19mm.

During CS-EMR, methylene blue-tinted epinephrine saline will be injected into the submucosal space around the lesion to lift the lesion. The polyp and 1-2mm of surrounding mucosa will then be closely snared and transected mechanically.
During HS-EMR, methylene blue-tinted epinephrine saline will be injected into the submucosal space around the lesion to lift the lesion. The snare will be placed around the lesion, and then cautery will be applied using the electrosurgical generator.

Complete resection rate
The resection is considered histologically complete if the lateral margins of the resected polyps are surrounded by normal tissue and the vertical margin is free of neoplasia tissue. If en-bloc resection is not achieved, 5 biopsies (4 biopsies obtained in a 4-quadrant fashion from the polypectomy site margins; 1 biopsy from the base) are applied to evaluate histological completeness of resection.
Time frame: Within 14 days
En-bloc resection rate
The lesion was completely excised under endoscope and a single specimen was obtained.
Time frame: Within 1 day
Intraprocedural bleeding
Any immediate episode requiring any form of endoscopic hemostasis or oozing for more than 60s
Time frame: Within 1 day
Intraprocedural perforation
Endoscopic observation of perforation requiring sealing with clips
Time frame: Within 1 day
Delayed bleeding
Any episode requiring emergency department presentation, hospitalization, or reintervention within 14 days
Time frame: Within 14 days
Delayed perforation
Any perforation within 14 days
Time frame: Within 14 days
Number of clips used
