Background. To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) versus endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods. We searched the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from January 2000 to April 2017 and included studies that compared the outcomes of ESD with EMR for EGC. These eligible studies that met the inclusion criteria were screened out and were assessed by two independent investigators. Result. In total, 18 retrospective cohort studies were eligible for analysis. Our results indicated that ESD is more beneficial than EMR in increasing the complete resection rate and en bloc resection rate and decreasing the local recurrence rate. However, ESD prolonged operative time and increased incidence of gastric perforation than EMR. No differences were found in postoperative bleeding rate between the two approaches. Conclusion. Compared with EMR, ESD offers higher complete resection rate, higher en bloc resection rate, and lower local recurrence rate but has prolonged operative time and increased incidence of gastric perfusion. There is no statistical difference in the rate of postoperative bleeding between the two groups. However, the above conclusion needs further verification by well-designed, randomized trials with larger samples and long follow-up periods.

Abstract Background We analyzed the efficacy of precutting endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), which is a method of making a full or partial circumferential mucosal incision around a tumor with a snare tip for en bloc resection. Methods We reviewed cases from 2011 to 2018 in which precutting EMR (n = 167) and standard EMR (n = 557) were performed for lesions of 10 – 30 mm. Precutting EMR was indicated for benign lesions of 20 – 30 mm or lesions of < 20 mm for which standard EMR was difficult. Through propensity score matching of the two groups, the therapeutic outcomes for 35 lesions of ≥ 20 mm and 98 lesions of < 20 mm in each group were analyzed. Results In the two sizes of lesion, there were significant differences between the precutting and standard groups in the en bloc resection rate (≥ 20 mm 88.6 % vs. 48.5 %, P < 0.001; < 20 mm 98.0 % vs. 85.7 %, P = 0.004) and the histological complete resection rate (≥ 20 mm 71.4 % vs. 42.9 %, P = 0.02; < 20 mm 87.8 % vs. 67.3 %, P < 0.001). Conclusion Precutting EMR enabled high en bloc resection rates in cases involving difficult lesions.

Abstract Background Endoscopic resection, including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR), was used to resect small gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Our team explored a method of tumor traction using a snare combined with endoclips to assist in the resection of SMTs. This study aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of the method. Methods This research performed a propensity-score-matching (PSM) analysis to compare ESD/EFR assisted by a snare combined with endoclips (ESD/EFR with snare traction) with conventional ESD/EFR for the resection of gastric SMTs. Comparisons were made between the two groups, including operative time, en bloc resection rate, perioperative complications, and operation-related costs. Results A total of 253 patients with gastric SMTs resected between January 2012 and March 2019 were included in this study. PSM yielded 51 matched pairs. No significant differences were identified between the two groups in perioperative complications or the costs of disposable endoscopic surgical accessories. However, the ESD/EFR-with-snare-traction group had a shorter median operative time (39 vs 60 min, P = 0.005) and lower rate of en bloc resection (88.2% vs 100%, P = 0.027). Conclusions ESD/EFR with snare traction demonstrated a higher efficiency and en bloc resection rate for gastric SMTs, with no increases in perioperative complications and the costs of endoscopic surgical accessories. Therefore, the method seems an appropriate choice for the resection of gastric SMTs.

Abstract Background Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is a promising strategy for nonpedunculated colorectal polyp removal. However, the efficacy and safety of the technique for the treatment of ≥ 10-mm colorectal polyps remain unclear. We aimed to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of UEMR for polyps sized 10–19 mm and ≥ 20 mm. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles from January 2012 to November 2019. Primary outcomes were the rates of adverse events and residual polyps. Secondary outcomes were the complete resection, en bloc resection, and R0 resection rates. Results 18 articles including 1142 polyps from 1093 patients met our inclusion criteria. The overall adverse event and residual polyp rates were slightly lower for UEMR when removing colorectal polyps of 10–19 mm vs. ≥ 20 mm (3.5 % vs. 4.3 % and 1.2 % vs. 2.6 %, respectively). The UEMR-related complete resection rate was slightly higher for colorectal polyps of 10–19 mm vs. ≥ 20 mm (97.9 % vs. 92.0 %). However, the en bloc and R0 resection rates were dramatically higher for UEMR removal of polyps of 10–19 mm vs. ≥ 20 mm (83.4 % vs. 36.1 % and 73.0 % vs. 40.0 %, respectively). In addition, univariate meta-regression revealed that polyp size was an independent predictor for complete resection rate (P = 0.03) and en bloc resection (P = 0.01). Conclusions UEMR was an effective and safe technique for the removal of ≥ 10-mm nonpedunculated colorectal polyps. However, UEMR exhibited low en bloc and R0 resection rates for the treatment of ≥ 20-mm polyps.

ObjectivesTo investigate the treatment effects of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) versus endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for early gastric cancer (EGC).DesignMeta-analysis.MethodsWe systematically searched three electronic databases, including PubMed, EmBase and the Cochrane library for studies published with inception to January 2018. The eligible studies should be evaluated for the efficacy and safety of ESD versus EMR for patients with EGC. The summary ORs and standard mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs were employed as effect estimates. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of single study on overall analysis. Subgroup analyses were performed for investigated outcomes to evaluate the treatment effects of ESD versus EMR for patients with EGC with specific subsets.ResultsEighteen studies, with a total of 6723 patients with EGC, were included in final analysis. The summary ORs indicated that patients with EGC who received ESD were associated with an increased incidence of en bloc resection (OR: 9.00; 95% CI: 6.66 to 12.17; p<0.001), complete resection (OR: 8.43; 95% CI: 5.04 to 14.09; p<0.001) and curative resection (OR: 2.92; 95% CI: 1.85 to 4.61; p<0.001) when compared with EMR. Furthermore, ESD was associated with lower risk of local recurrence (OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.34; p<0.001). In addition, there was no significant difference between ESD and EMR for the risk of bleeding (OR: 1.26; 95% CI: 0.88 to 1.80; p=0.203). Though, ESD was correlated with greater risk of perforation (OR: 2.55; 95% CI: 1.48 to 4.39; p=0.001), and longer operation time (SMD: 1.12; 95% CI: 0.13 to 2.10; p=0.026) as compared with EMR. Additionally, several different features observed in included studies and patients could bias the effectiveness of ESD versus EMR in patients with EGC.ConclusionsESD is superior than EMR for en bloc resection, complete resection, curative resection and local recurrence, while it increased perforation risk and longer operation time.

Objectives. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective method for en bloc removal of large colorectal tumors in Japan, but this technique is not yet widely established in western countries. The purpose here was to report the experience of implementing colorectal ESD in Sweden.Methods. Twenty-nine patients with primarily nonmalignant and early colorectal neoplasms considered to be too difficult to remove en bloc with EMR underwent ESD. Five cases of invasive cancer underwent ESD due to high comorbidity excluding surgical intervention or as an unexpected finding.Results. The median age of the patients was 74 years. The median tumor size was 26 mm (range 11–89 mm). The median procedure time was 142 min (range 57–291 min). En bloc resection rate was 72% and the R0 resection rate was 69%. Two perforations occurred amounting to a perforation rate of 6.9%. Both patients with perforation could be managed conservatively. One bleeding occurred during ESD but no postoperative bleeding was observed.Conclusion. Our data confirms that ESD is an effective method for en bloc resection of large colorectal adenomas and early cancers. This study demonstrates that implementation of colorectal ESD is feasible in Sweden after proper training, careful patient selection, and standardization of the ESD procedure.

Submucosal Dissection

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been applied to, and gradually standardized for, early gastric cancers; however, it has not yet been widely used for treatment of colorectal neoplasms. Compared with gastric ESD, the thinner colorectal wall and winding nature of the colon make colorectal ESD a much more difficult operative technique. Despite greater risks of postoperative complications, particularly perforation of the colon, more and more endoscopists are making an effort to study this new technique in terms of its capability of larger neoplastic resection, higher en bloc resection rate and lower local recurrence rate of neoplasms in comparison with other endoscopic treatments. Thus, colorectal ESD may become the standard treatment for early colorectal neoplasms in the future. This review article discusses the current research on endoscopic submucosal dissection for colorectal neoplasms.

Aims. To retrospectively analyze the clinical outcomes for a large number of endoscopic submucosal dissections (ESDs) in early esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (ESCNs) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Patients and Methods. From January 2010 to February 2014, 296 patients (mean age 61.4 years, range 31–85 years; 202 men) with 307 early ESCNs (79 intramucosal invasive esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) and 228 high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) cases) were included from a total of 519 consecutive patients who were treated by esophageal ESD at our hospital. The primary end points of the study were rates of en bloc resection and complete resection. Secondary end points were complications, residual and recurrence rates, and mortality during follow-up.Results. The en bloc resection rate and complete resection rate were 93.5% and 78.2%, respectively. Complications included strictures (8.4%), perforations (1.0%), and bleedings (0.7%). Twenty-seven (9.1%) patients experienced residual and 18 (6.1%) patients experienced recurrence during a mean follow-up period of 30 months. Thirteen patients died from causes unrelated to ESCC, and no cancer-related death was observed.Conclusions. Our study showed that ESD is a successful and relatively safe treatment for intramucosal invasive ESCC and HGIN, fulfilling the criteria of lymph node negative tumors. This should encourage clinicians to select ESD performed by experienced operators as a potential or even preferred treatment option for lesions amenable to endoscopic treatment.

Abstract Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced resection technique for large gastrointestinal lesions. ESD was developed in Japan and is popular in countries with gastric cancer screening and a high incidence of gastric cancer. ESD has benefits over endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) such as increased complete resection, en bloc resection and lower recurrence. However, ESD is a longer procedure and is difficult to master in countries with low incidence of early gastric neoplasia which is the ideal anatomic location for learning. There is increasing interest in using ESD techniques including hybrid ESD/EMR in western centers. Barriers include procedure time, perforation risk and challenges accumulating sufficient experience. Aims To present our experience implementing an ESD program in British Columbia including outcomes and logistical considerations of interest. Methods All ESD procedures since implementation of the program in May 2015 to July 2019 were included. Descriptive statistics and performance indicators over time are reported. All procedures were performed by a staff endoscopist after specialized training. Procedures were performed at two hospitals in British Columbia. Cases were referred from endoscopists and were assessed with dedicated endoscopy with or without endoscopic ultrasound prior to booking ESD. Results 40 procedures were performed, though only one procedure was performed in the first year (Mean age 70, 67.5% male). ASA class ranged from 1–4 (mean 2.08). 22 lesions were gastric, 13 were rectal, with the remainder throughout the colon. Mean lesion size was 25mm in maximum dimension (interquartile range 15-30mm). 18 procedures were performed under general anesthesia and the remainder using procedural sedation. Total surgical time ranged from 22 to 398 minutes. Mean surgical time was 104 minutes, or 126 minutes including anesthesia. 50% of procedures were performed using hybrid ESD/EMR technique. R0 resection rate across all cases was 68% (60% for hybrid procedures, 80% for strict ESD). En bloc resection rate was 60%. Recurrence rate was 10%. Complication rate was 7.5% all were post-procedure bleeds requiring hospitalization. No perforations occurred. 3 patients required surgery for incomplete resection or invasive cancer on pathology, 3 required repeat endoscopic resection. Surgical time per cm of lesion improved significantly from the first 10 cases to the last 10 (time per cm resected 75 min to 32 min p&lt;0.006). Conclusions ESD is an effective therapy for GI neoplasia. ESD is feasible in a Canadian setting. Hybrid techniques tend to be faster though at the expense of R0 resection. Patient centered outcomes in this sample are favorable and comparable to large ESD series. Monitoring of ESD quality is critical for comparison with standard of care as experience with ESD in Canada grows. Funding Agencies None

Abstract Background and study aims Sessile serrated lesions (SSL) are major precursor lesions of serrated pathway cancers, and appropriate treatment may prevent interval colorectal cancer. Studies have reported the outcomes of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for SSL; however, there are insufficient reports on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We examined the characteristics and outcomes of SSL and compared them to those of non-SSL in ESD. Patients and methods We reviewed 370 consecutive cases in 322 patients who underwent colorectal ESD between January 2016 and March 2020 at our hospital. There were 267 0-IIa lesions that were stratified into 41 SSL and 226 non-SSL (intramucosal cancer, adenoma) cases. We used propensity matching to adjust for the variances in the factors affecting treatment between the SSL and non-SSL groups. Results In the baseline cases, young women and proximal colon tumor location were significantly more common in the SSL group. There were no statistically significant differences between the SSL and non-SSL groups in terms of en bloc resection rate (97.6 % vs. 99.6 %; P = 0.28), R0 resection rate (92.7 % vs. 93.4 %; P = 0.74), perforation (0 % vs. 0.9 %; P > 0.99), and postoperative bleeding (2.4 % vs. 1.8 %; P = 0.56). Thirty-eight pairs were matched using propensity score, and the median dissection speed (12 vs. 7.7 cm2/h; P = 0.0095) was significantly faster in the SSL than in the non-SSL group. Conclusions ESD for SSL was safely performed, and SSL was smoother to remove than non-SSL. ESD might be an acceptable endoscopic treatment option for SSL.
