What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete endoscopic (visual) eradication of the polyp with the first forceps bite

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of bites to completely visually eradicate the polyp if the polyp was not fully eradicated with the first forceps bite

    Measured: one year

  2. Complete pathologic eradication of the polyp on the first forceps bite.

    Measured: one year

  3. Correlate endoscopic with pathologic eradication

    Measured: one year
