Description
Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) has emerged as the preferred technique for safe, effective, and efficient removal of small (< 10mm) sessile (Paris I) polyps during colonoscopy. These parameters encompass a significant proportion of polyps encountered during surveillance colonoscopy in childhood hereditary polyposis syndromes (CHPS) including Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Peutz Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) and Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome (JPS). Anecdotally, CSP has been widely adopted in this population but there are no reports, to date, on the safety and applicability of CSP in CHPS. Herein we report the observations and outcomes of a cohort of children with CHPS undergoing CSP during elective surveillance colonoscopy
