PROCEDURE

cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR)

"All procedures will be performed by experienced endoscopists (\>3 years of experience/\>1000 polypectomies) with the patient in the left lateral position under propofol sedation.~The polyp size will be assessed by boston biopsy forceps (open jaws -7mm) or boston jumbo biopsy forceps (open jaws 10mm) or submucosal injection needle (Olympus (4mm)). A standard snare will be used .~submucosal injection of saline mixed with methylene blue will be used (no epinephrine) followed by resection using snare without using electrocautery in C-EMR group.After polypectomy, the area is inspected for residual polyp using NBI and if present, will be resected using biopsy forceps.~Bleeding will be assessed for 2 mins to decide upon requirement of immediate hemostatic methods in the form of clipping or electrocoagulation."

PROCEDURE

Hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (H-EMR)

"All procedures will be performed by experienced endoscopists (\>3 years of experience/\>1000 polypectomies) with the patient in the left lateral position under propofol sedation.~The polyp size will be assessed by boston biopsy forceps (open jaws -7mm) or boston jumbo biopsy forceps (open jaws 10mm) or submucosal injection needle (Olympus (4mm)). A standard snare will be used.submucosal injection of saline mixed with methylene blue will be used.Using ERBE electrosurgical unit - EndoCut Q mode (effect interval duration) and forced coagulation mode in H-EMR group.~After polypectomy, the area is inspected for residual polyp using NBI and if present, will be resected using biopsy forceps."
