Background: Cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR) is hypothesized to offer a safety advantage over hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (H-EMR). The primary objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of C-EMR versus H-EMR for the management of colorectal lesions.
Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to determine pooled odds ratios (ORs) for comparing outcomes between the C-EMR and H-EMR groups.
