Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of cold snare and hot snare polypectomy for right half colon superficialpolyps (type 0-IIa).Methods Randomized controlled studies comparing cold snare and hot snare polypectomy for removal of 110 patients with right half colon polyps were considered. The study group was treated with cold snare polypectomy, while the control group was treated with hot snare polypectomy, 55 cases in each group. The treatment and follow-up of the two groups were analyzed.Results The polyscomplete resection rate of the study group and the control group were 97.10% and 95.65%, respectively. No bleeding or perforation complications occurred during or after surgery. There was no persistent postoperative abdominal pain in the study group, while 3 cases in the control group have localized abdominal pain lasting up to 1 month may due to electrocoagulation syndrome or injection needle penetration injury to the intestinal wall. The therapy time in the study group was shorter than that in the control group, the cost of therapy in the study group was less than that in the control group, and the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion Compared with hot snare polypectomy, cold snare polypectomy is more convenient to remove right colon type 0-IIa polyps within 1 cm in size, which has high endoscopic complete resection rate,and avoiding the risk of transmural injury caused by electrocautery coagulation and needle injection, reducing the probability of persistent abdominal pain occurred postoperatively, does not increase the risk of bleeding and perforation. The therapy is safer, the time of cold snare polypectomy is shortened and the cost is reduced, and the clinical effect is good. It is worth popularizing and applying.
