What is the difference between hot and cold snare polypectomy?

During a colonoscopy, a polypectomy may be performed to completely remove a polyp, or a sample of the polyp tissue may be biopsied for further examination. Clinicians typically use two techniques to remove polyps – cold snare polypectomy or hot snare polypectomy. The choice of which technique and tool to use depends on the size of the polyp being removed and the physician’s technique preference. During cold snare polypectomy, an endoscopic snare such as the EXACTO Cold Snare or EXACTO – MUNDO Cold Snare is looped around the polyp and closed until the polyp is removed. The key difference between hot snare polypectomy and cold snare polypectomy is the addition of electrocautery to aid in polyp removal.
