Aims of the Course

Cold snare polypectomy is established as an effective and safer alternative to snare polypectomy using diathermy.  There is a learning curve but once established many people may wonder why we are running a webinar on the topic.

Consider the following issues:

  • Difficult positioning
  • Very small, flat polyp
  • Patient on multiple anticoagulant agents
  • Snare doesn’t cut through despite waiting
  • Should you use suction to retrieve due to potential specimen fragmentation? Dedicated snare or hybrid?
  • How to deal with bleeding
  • Scraped the surface of the polyp?
  • How to quickly and easily resolve?
  • Can you use biopsy forceps as an alternative? If so when?


Want our take on these issues and more with multiple practical examples?  Join us on 20th February.
