STSC-HybridAPC Trial
Margin thermal ablation after piecemeal EMR significantly reduces recurrence of large colorectal polyps. As recurrence rates are now low, the key implementation question relates to efficiency and reproducibility of different ablation techniques. This randomized controlled trial compares snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) with Hybrid APC (ERBE), with procedural time as the primary endpoint.
