How Cold/Hot Snare Polypectomy is performed
This procedure is often performed under sedation and monitoring. If applicable, a cold snare or electrocautery snare can be selected. An endoscope is inserted into the rectum to assess the lesion. The polyp is usually snared at its base and resected. If necessary, injection for elevation, clipping, or local hemostasis is performed. The specimen is retrieved and sent for pathology.
