Which method is most effective in reducing polyp recurrence after EMR of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps?

Researchers compared different methods of EMR for large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps and found that EMR combined with snare tip soft coagulation (stsc) had the highest reduction in polyp recurrence rates (82% reduced odds), followed by underwater EMR alone (77% reduced odds) and EMR combined with argon plasma coagulation (apc). These results suggest that EMR combined with stsc may be the most effective method for reducing polyp recurrence post-resection.
