This is the first study conducted to examine the safety of CSP for Ip polyps measuring less than 10 mm in diameter. CSP can be performed with a high level of safety even for Ip polyps. Based on our findings, we believe that Ip polyps could be included as an indication for CSP. However, prospective, randomized studies are necessary to confirm our results.
