Abstract:【Abstract】 Objective To compare Cold-endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR) with Hot-endoscopic mucosal resection (hot-endoscopic mucosal resection). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of H-EMR in the treatment of colorectal polyps with a diameter of 10-20mm, and to provide a basis for the selection of treatment methods for colorectal polyps with a diameter of 10-20mm. Methods This study was a single-center, randomized, non-inferiority trial design. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients with at least one size 10-20mm, Paris type Is, type IIa polyp were selected and randomly divided into C-EMR group and H-EMR group. The C-EMR group was not treated with high-frequency electric current, while the H-EMR group was treated with high-frequency electric current to remove polyps. Both methods involve submucosal injection of a mixture of saline stained with methylene blue. The main outcome measures were the complete resection rate of polyps, the incidence of postoperative adverse events (bleeding, perforation, infection), and the recurrence rate of polyps in the two groups. Secondary outcome measures were procedure time and cost-benefit analysis. Results A total of 209 eligible polyps were included in 209 patients (C-EMR n=104, H-EMR n=105). The complete polyp resection rate (C-EMR 94.3%, H-EMR 95.2%; P=0.276), polyp recurrence rate (C-EMR 2.9%, H-EMR 1.9%; P=0.683) and incidence of adverse events (C-EMR 5.7%, H-EMR 1.9%; P=0.276). Compared with the H-EMR group, the C-EMR group had shorter operation time and fewer titanium clips, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The efficacy and safety of C-EMR in the treatment of colorectal polyps 10-20mm are not inferior to H-EMR. The widespread development of C-EMR may reduce the cost and expenses of medical services.
