The efficacy and safety of cold snare polypectomy with submucosal injection for the removal of polyps less than 20 mm in size: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

For resecting colorectal polyps measuring ≤20 mm, CS-EMR is an effective attempt. However, compared with CSP and HS-EMR, CS-EMR did not improve the efficiency and safety of polypectomy as expected. Multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to compare CSP with CS-EMR in the resection of <10 mm polyps and HSP with CS-EMR in the resection of ≥10 mm polyps.
