Event Description

It is reported in the literature titled ¿real-world local recurrence rate after cold polypectomy in colorectal polyps less than 10 mm using propensity score matching,¿ patients experienced acute bleeding events during procedures using an olympus colonoscope and using snaremaster.Case with patient identifier (b)(6) reports cf-h260azi.Case with patient identifier (b)(6) reports cf-hq290i.Case with patient identifier (b)(6) reports sd-210u-15.Background and aims: cold polypectomy (cp) is a simple and safe procedure for polyps less than 10 mm in size; however, there is concern about local recurrence following cp because of unidentified margins of excised specimens and the lack of tumor suppression effect by coagulation.Some clinical trials have evaluated local persistent recurrence; their results suggest that a higher rate of local recurrence has not been documented so far.There were few reports that observed the course over long periods of time after cp in clinical practice.This study¿s aim was to evaluate the presence of local recurrence following cp and hot polypectomy (hp) using propensity score matching.Method: this study analyzed 275 patients who underwent polypectomy for non-pedunculated colorectal polyps less than 10 mm (959 lesions) between october 2016 and 2017 and underwent follow-up endoscopy subsequently.We divided them into the cp group (706 lesions), wherein cp was performed, and the hp group (253 lesions), wherein hp was performed.Using propensity score matching, we extracted 215 lesions in each group and evaluated the local recurrence and content of cp in the real clinic and adverse events using medical records.Results: after propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in the patients¿ and their endoscopic background (age, use of antithrombotic, indications, size, morphology, location of polyps, and polypectomy device) between the groups.The mean duration between colorectal polypectomy and the next follow-up colonoscopy was 17.5 ± 7.1 (range, 6-39) months in the cp group and 15.7 ± 6.0 (range, 6-35) months in the hp group, which was significantly longer in the cp group (p = 0.005).The local recurrence rate was 0.93% in the cp group and 0.93% in the hp group, without a significant difference (p = 0.688).Additionally, no differences were observed in the macroscopic en bloc resection rate, histopathological complete resection rate, and pathological results between the groups.Adverse events did not occur in either group.Conclusions: local recurrence after cp was equivalent to that following hp in clinical practice.Cp is useful and safe in the treatment of non-pedunculated polyps of less than 10 mm.Six patients in the cp group using either an evis lucera colonoscope or an evis lucera elite colonoscope with a snaremaster cold polypectomy snare experienced acute bleeding during the procedure requiring endoscopic clipping.There was no delayed bleeding or perforation observed in either study group.There is no report of olympus device malfunction described in this study.
