Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This is a multicenter, single-arm feasibility study conducted across multiple hospitals in Taiwan. The goal of this trial is to evaluate whether cold snare polypectomy is a feasible and safe method for removing 10-20 mm pedunculated colorectal polyps. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can cold snare polypectomy achieve complete removal of 10-20 mm pedunculated polyps? 2. What are the rates and types of complications associated with this technique? Participants will: 1. Undergo colonoscopy as clinically indicated 2. Have 10-20 mm pedunculated polyps removed using cold snare polypectomy if eligible 3. Be monitored for post-procedure outcomes, including pathology results and any complications

Participants
Target number of participants: 120
Treatments
Experimental: Cold snare polypectomy
Participants in this single-arm study will undergo cold snare polypectomy (CSP) for removal of 10-20 mm pedunculated colorectal polyps identified during clinically indicated colonoscopy. CSP will be performed using standard cold snares without electrocautery. The procedure will be conducted by experienced endoscopists, and all peri-procedural care will follow routine clinical protocols. Outcomes will include complete resection rate, procedure time, and occurrence of adverse events such as immediate or delayed bleeding, perforation, and emergency visits.
