- Abstract
Background and Aims: The impact of submucosal injection during cold snare polypectomy (CSP) remains uncertain. We conducted an evidence-based comparison of conventional CSP (C-CSP) and CSP with submucosal injection (SI-CSP) for colorectal polyp resection. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing C-CSP with SI-CSP. Major outcomes included the rates of complete resection, en bloc resection, polyp retrieval, and adverse events, as well as the duration of polypectomy. Data were analyzed by using a random-effects model. Results: A total of seven RCTs were included. Complete resection rates for all polyps (RR 0.98; 95% CI 0.93–1.03), polyps ≤ 10 mm (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.96–1.02) and polyps > 10 mm (RR 0.92; 95% CI 0.69–1.12) were not substantially different between C-CSP and SI-CSP groups. En bloc resection rate (RR 0.93; 95% CI 0.79–1.09) and polyp retrieval rate (RR 1.00; 95% CI 0.99–1.01) were also not significantly different between the two groups. The SI-CSP group required a prolonged polypectomy time than the C-CSP group (SMD − 0.89; 95% CI -1.29 to -0.49). Adverse events were rare in both groups. Conclusions: SI-CSP is not an optimal substitute for CSP in the resection of colorectal polyps, particularly diminutive and small polyps.
