- ESD is associated with significantly lower recurrence rates compared to EMR for colorectal polyps ≥20 mm, with high certainty evidence.
- No significant differences in total adverse events, bleeding, or perforation rates between EMR and ESD, though evidence certainty is moderate.
- Findings support using ESD when recurrence risk is a primary concern, while EMR remains a feasible alternative with comparable safety.
