This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and recurrence of cold-snaring for large colonic lesions combined with argon plasma coagulation of the resection bed.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
60
* Initial submucosal injection of saline solution and methylene blue, followed by 'piece-meal' resection using a dedicated cold snare * Biopsy of the resection bed * Ablation of the defect using argon plasma coagulation (APC).
Endoscopy Unit, Gastroenterology Department, Humanitas Research Hospital
Rozzano, Milano, Italy
Residual
Evaluation of residual in the biopsy of the defect after the cold-EMR. The specimen will be evaluated independently from the polyp sample.
Time frame: 1 day
Recurrence
The recurrence rate of adenomas at the site of any qualifying, previously resected lesions is measured after 3-6 and 12 months.
Time frame: 1 year
Efficacy of procedure
Complete resection of polyp
Time frame: 1 day
Rate of delayed bleeding of the patient
Delayed-bleeding, defined was defined as clinical evidence of bleeding (hematemesis, hematochezia or melena or a decrease of hemoglobin concentration \> 2g/dL, which required transfusion or endoscopic reintervention with hemostasis within 30 days of hospital discharge)
Time frame: 1 day
Rate of post-polipectomy syndrome
The post-polipectomy syndrome is defined by the presence of fever or abdominal pain
Time frame: 1 day
perforation
Rate of perforation and delayed perforation
Time frame: 1 day
Time
Average time of procedure and polyp resection time
Time frame: 1 day
