Detailed Descriptions

Sequence: 20558502
Description Rationale: Conventional EMR is well-established for the resection of lateral-spreading adenomas and has been shown to be highly efficacious with adjuvant STSC. Cauterisation-related complications occur relatively frequently and while endoscopically treatable, still carry morbidity not seen in current cold snare polypectomy data. Cold snare polypectomy has an excellent safety profile for smaller polyps, without cauterisation-related adverse events. Limited data on cold EMR for large adenomatous laterally-spreading lesions shows minimal complications. Efficacy, however, is yet to be evaluated in prospective randomised trials. Observational data demonstrates recurrence rates exceeding conventional EMR. Since STSC causes significant reduction in recurrence in conventional EMR, the safety and efficacy of this adjuvant technique, when compared to isolated cold snare EMR, has theoretical advantages in both safety and efficacy. The safety and efficacy of these two techniques will therefore be compared in a randomised controlled trial. Hypothesis: Cold snare EMR of 15-40mm lateral-spreading adenomas with adjuvant STSC is expected to be superior regarding complete resection and adenoma recurrence rates as compared to cold snare EMR.

Intervention Type Procedure Intervention Type Procedure
Name Cold Snare Endoscopic mucosal resection with adjuvant snare tip soft coagulation Name Cold Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Description Use of injected chromogelofusine solution to raise a lesion prior to polypectomy. Lesion then removed with a stiff thin-wired snare. Following this defect margins are treated with electrocautery to create a rim of ablated tissue. Description Use of injected chromogelofusine solution to raise a lesion prior to polypectomy.
