FAQs

What is the difference between hot and cold snare polypectomy?

During a colonoscopy, a polypectomy may be performed for the complete removal of a polyp or a sample of the polyp tissue may be biopsied for further examination. Clinicians typically use two types of techniques for the removal of polyps – cold snare polypectomy or hot snare polypectomy. The choice of which technique and snare medical tool to use depends on the size of the polyp being removed and the physician’s technique preference. During cold snare polypectomy, a snare such as the Exacto snare is looped around the polyp and closed until the polyp is removed. The key difference between hot snare polypectomy is the addition of electrocautery to aid in polyp removal.

When do you use a cold snare?

Clinical evidence and guidelines support cold snare polypectomy by strong recommendation and high-quality evidence for the removal of diminutive (≤5 mm) and small (6-9mm) lesions due to high complete resection rates, efficiency in technique, and safety profile. As guidelines and practices move towards endoscopic procedures over surgery, polypectomy snaring and endoscopic mucosal resection are trending to resect larger, more complicated lesions. Cold snare polypectomy decreases risks such as injury to submucosal arteries, delayed bleeding, and perforation associated with other polypectomy techniques.
