This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection—a procedure to remove precancerous polyps and early-stage colorectal cancers—doctors typically tell patients not to eat for a period of time. This trial is testing whether patients do just as well (or better) if they start eating within a few hours after the procedure, compared to waiting the full 24 hours that is currently standard practice.
Currently, patients must fast for 24 hours after this procedure, which can be uncomfortable and affects quality of life. Doctors want to know if allowing patients to eat sooner is safe and actually leads to better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
You will have the standard colorectal polyp removal procedure. Then you will be randomly assigned to either eat starting a few hours after the procedure (with water first, then liquids, then soft foods), or to wait 24 hours and start with liquids the next day. The study team will check on you 2 hours after your procedure, perform blood tests and imaging, and monitor you for any complications. You will also be asked about your satisfaction with the experience.
