  Fig. 1. Underwater cold forceps polypectomy. (A) A sessile polyp 3 mm in size was found in a cecal diverticulum. The underwater method improved polyp visualization. Narrow-band imaging (NBI). (B, C) Underwater cold forceps polypectomy was performed. (D) Observation using NBI and continuous irrigation confirmed that there were no residual lesions or perforation.
