From: Mechanism behind reduced resection ability of bent snares during cold snare polypectomy
Resection completion rate of cold snare polypectomy using snares bent one time or five times. To evaluate the performance of the bent snares, cold snare polypectomy was performed for a 5-mm-diameter pseudo-lesion using a porcine rectum, and the resection completion rate was calculated. The resection completion rate was defined as the percentage of pseudo-lesions that could be resected with a snare without becoming stuck. Pathological evaluations were not included because pseudo-lesions were targeted. Data are expressed as means ± standard errors. *P < 0.05 (versus no bending). See also Supplementary Table S1 for detailed data.
