Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is performed as a standard technique for small colorectal polyps. However, CSP for 10-14 mm colorectal polyps was reported to have limitations in terms of the histological margin,1 and CSP is not indicated for polyps ≥ 10 mm.2 Recently, piecemeal cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR), which combines submucosal injection and CSP technique, has been used for colorectal polyps ≥ 10 mm.3 However, the feasibility of en bloc CS-EMR for 10-14 mm colorectal adenomas is unclear.
