Abstract
Gastrointestinal luminal defects, including perforations, leaks and fistulae, pose persistent obstacles in endoscopic therapeutic interventions. A variety of endoscopic approaches have been proposed, with through-the-scope clipping (TTSC), over-the-scope clipping (OTSC) and suturing representing the main techniques of tissue apposition. However, the heterogeneity in defect morphology, the technical particularities of different locations in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the impact of various parameters on the final outcome, do not allow distinct conclusions and recommendations on the optimal approaches for defect closure, and, thus, current practice is based on endoscopists experience and local availability of devices. This review aims to collect the existing evidence on tissue apposition devices, in order to outline the role of every device on specific indications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clips are endoscopic mechanical devices with tensile and closure strength that can approximate tissue and provide hemostasis through a tamponade effect. Clips are ubiquitously used in endoscopic practice, and numerous studies have validated the clinical efficacy of clips, with recent guidelines recommending them as a first-line intervention for recurrent and persistent nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding. However, the safety profile for these devices has yet to be delineated, thus, we aim to investigate this feature by examining the adverse events reported to the Food and Drug Administration. METHODS Postmarketing surveillance data from the Food and Drug Administration Manufacturer And User Facility Device Experience database were analyzed from January 2012 to January 2021. The Manufacturer And User Facility Device Experience database is a reporting software and does not independently verify the details of complications. RESULTS Two thousand five hundred forty reports were issued, of which 287 were patient adverse events and 2766 were device problems. Activation, separation, and positioning issues were most common. No consequences or clinically significant impact on patients were seen in 1968 reports. Foreign bodies were seen in 97 cases, hemorrhage in 57 cases, tissue damage in 42 cases, embedded clips in tissues/plaques in 16 cases, perforation in 15 cases, lacerations in 6 cases, and infection in 3 cases. CONCLUSIONS While the most commonly reported device problems involved activation, separation, and positioning, most patients were clinically unaffected. Moreover, perforation and infection were exceedingly rare, further highlighting the safety profile of endoscopic clips.

Abstract
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has become the gold standard for the treatment of large kidney stones > 2 cm and stones in the lower calyces > 1.5 cm. Despite the miniaturization of instruments and the greater expertise of urologists, serious complications can still occur. One of the most dangerous complications is intestinal perforation. Current database analyses report colonic injury in 0.3-0.8% of all cases. These injuries can be treated with either conservative management with long-term drainage and parenteral nutrition, or an exploratory laparotomy with primary closure or creation of a colostomy becomes necessary. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman who underwent left-sided PCNL for a single kidney stone. After removal of the nephrostomy, feces leaked from the puncture channel. After literature research and an interdisciplinary case presentation, the decision was made in favor of an undescribed therapy concept for colon injury after PCNL. After taking laxatives, a colonoscopy was performed. The entry and exit points of the puncture were identified and were both treated with an OTSC® clip (InMedi, Langenhagen, Germany). Immediately after the intervention stool leakage via the puncture channel stopped and the patient was allowed to eat normally. A control sonography on the third day revealed minimal fluid retention in the retroperitoneum which did not require treatment. The patient was then discharged symptom-free.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colonic wall injuries are the most feared adverse events of endoscopic resections among endoscopists. The implementation of endoscopic closure has offered a reliable way to treat such injuries and, thus, has decreased their overall morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study is to assess the characteristics and outcomes of colonic wall injuries after endoscopic resection, focusing on the endoscopic treatment of these injuries. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS Patients treated in the Central Endoscopy Unit of the Medical Centre Mannheim were included. PATIENTS We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent endoscopic mucosal resection and snare polypectomy in our center between 2004 and 2019 and isolated the resection-related colonic wall injuries. These were divided into 3 groups: group A, endoscopically treated early colonic wall injuries; group B, nonendoscopically treated early colonic wall injuries; and group C, late perforations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Periprocedural factors and treatment outcomes were analyzed and compared among the 3 groups. RESULTS Of 3782 endoscopic resections, we identified 177 cases of colonic wall injuries, of which 148 were identified and treated endoscopically (group A), 9 were identified during the procedure but could not be treated endoscopically (group B), and 20 were late perforations (group C). Endoscopic treatment with use of clips had a technical success rate of 94.3%, while the clinical success rate of technically complete endoscopic closure was 92.6%. Twenty-two percent of all colonic wall injuries required surgical treatment; the type and outcomes of surgery were similar in all groups. Overall hospital stay was significantly lower in group A. LIMITATIONS The main limitation of the study is its retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic closure with the use of clips is a safe and feasible treatment for intraprocedurally identified colonic wall injuries and is associated with significantly decreased necessity of surgery, morbidity, and hospital stay.

Applicability, efficacy, and safety of over-the-scope clips in children. Gastrointest Endosc 2022; 95:489-499. [PMID: 34662583 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2021.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Over-the-scope clips (OTSCs) are now becoming popular in endoscopy performed in adults for indications such as acute nonvariceal GI bleeding, anastomotic bleeding, and for closure of gastrocutaneous and postgastrostomy fistulae. Varied sizes of clip are available, but even the smallest, 8.5 to 9.8 mm in diameter with its loading device on the tip of the endoscope, increases device and endoscope intubation diameters up to 14.65 mm. This may present challenges in terms of the size of the patient in whom it might be used. OTSCs appear to be effective and safe in the hands of those who are trained appropriately in endoscopy on adult patients; however, the experience of OTSC application in children is not reported. Here we present results of a service evaluation of this technology at 2 regional/national referral pediatric endoscopy units in the United Kingdom and the United States. METHODS Two tertiary centers' databases were searched to identify cases in which OTSCs were used. Demographics, presentation, anthropometry, comorbidities, efficacy, adverse events, and postprocedure follow-up were recorded, with identification of resolution or recurrence. RESULTS OTSC procedures were performed on 24 occasions in 20 patients (11 girls) between February 2018 and February 2021. Patients had a mean age of 12 years (range, 5-17) and a mean weight of 44.42 kg (range, 18.2-70.3). Indications were nonhealing PEG site fistulae (n = 7), acute nonvariceal upper GI bleeding (ANUGIB) from gastric ulcers (5), ANUGIB from duodenal ulcers (3), nonhealing bleeding anastomotic ulcer (3), esophageal mucocutaneous fistula (1), and gastric perforation (1). Technical success was achieved in all but 1 case (95%), and clinical success was achieved in 18 cases (90%). CONCLUSIONS The OTSC device appears to be effective in children (minimum age 5 years and minimum weight 18 kg) in a limited number of situations including anastomotic ulcer, closure of leaking PEG site, gastric perforation, and bleeding peptic ulcers. The operator should be an experienced endotherapeutic endoscopist with specific OTSC training, and the type and size of the OTSC device should be carefully considered, along with any comorbidities of the patient that may preclude success and/or lead to potential adverse events such as esophageal perforation.

Abstract
Recent advancement in endoscopic closure techniques have revolutionized the treatment of gastrointestinal perforations, leaks and fistulas. Traditionally, these have been managed surgically. The treatment strategy depends on the size and location of the defect, degree of contamination, presence of healthy surrounding tissues, patients' condition and the availability of expertise. One of the basic principles of management includes providing a barricade to the flow of luminal contents across the defect. This can be achieved with a wide range of endoscopic techniques. These include endoclips, stenting, suturing, tissue adhesives and glue, and endoscopic vacuum therapy. Each method has their distinct indications and shortcomings. Often, a combination of these techniques is required. Apart from endoscopic closure, drainage procedures by the interventional radiologist and surgical management also play an important role. In this review article, the outcomes of each of these endoscopic closure techniques in the literature is provided in tables, and practical management algorithms are being proposed.

Abstract
The development of laparoscopic technologies and continuous improvements in intracavitary anastomosis technology have significantly reduced the incidence of anastomotic leak (AL) following colorectal surgery. However, AL incidence can significantly increase the duration of patient hospitalization, patient medical expenses, and incidence of mortality. The recently developed over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system has been of increasing clinical interest owing to its ease of use, low complication rates, and high rates of technical and clinical success. The PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane PubMed Library were systematically searched for all studies of OTSC system-mediated closure of ALs and fistulas published from January 2010 to January 2021. Two reviewers independently identified relevant studies based on appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of nine studies were included in the present analysis, incorporating 114 patients of whom 107 were treated with an OTSC system. The technical success rate for these patients was 84% (95%CI, 73.5-94.5%; I2 53%), and the clinical success rate was 74.3% (95%CI, 64.4-84.1%; I2 28%) as calculated via a pooled proportion analysis. Complications occurred in two patients. The endoscopic OTSC system is a safe and effective means of treating ALs and fistulas after colorectal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Over-The-Scope Clip (OTSC) can effectively treat refractory gastrointestinal diseases. However, most reports have focused on short-term effectiveness. We examined clinical outcomes of the deployed clips and long-term characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of 47 patients with OTSC treatment, 35 with follow-up periods of ≥3 months were retrospectively examined. The indications were 11 bleedings, 17 perforations, and seven fistulas. The observation period was defined as medium-term (3 to <12 months) or long-term (≥12 months). The primary outcome was the clinical success rate without disease recurrence. The secondary outcomes were the complication rate, survival duration, and clip retention rate. RESULTS The medium- and long-term clinical success rates were 100% during the observation period (median, 44 months; range, 3-78 months). The complication rate was 2.9% (n = 1). The median survival time was 1,634 days for bleeding, 1,757 days for perforation, and 444 days for fistulas. The overall clip retention rates were 56.4%, 38.1%, 30.9%, and 25.9% after one, six, and 12 months and at the final follow-up, respectively. The average clip retention duration was 244 days in bleeding, 656 days in perforations, and 188 days in fistulas. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of clip detachment, the OTSC can be effective in long-term.

Abstract
Introduction Different endoscopic procedures have been proposed for the management of surgical leaks. Endoscopic internal drainage using trans-fistulary double-pigtail plastic stents has emerged as an alternative, especially in fistulae presenting after laparoscopic gastric sleeve. Methods Retrospective case series conducted at a single tertiary care center including all upper gastrointestinal post-surgical leaks primarily managed with endoscopic trans-fistulary insertion of double-pigtail plastic stents. Clinical success was defined as the absence of extravasation of oral radiographic contrast and radiological resolution of the collection with adequate oral intake Results Nine patients were included, 6 (66.6%) females, median age: 52.6 years (IQR 47-60). Five cases presented after laparoscopic gastric sleeves, 2 cases after distal esophagectomies, one after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and another one after a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Fistulae measured <10 mm in 5 patients (55.6%) and 10-20 mm in 4 patients (44.4%). Six were early leaks. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 9 (100%) and 7 (77.8%) cases, respectively. Seven (77.8%) patients required ≤3 endoscopic procedures. Median hospital stay after the first endoscopic procedure was 12 days (IQR 6.5-17.5 days), while overall median time until leak healing was 118.5 days (IQR 84.5-170). One patient presenting a post-esophagectomy intrathoracic leak developed an esophageal-tracheal fistula 37 days after stent deployment. Conclusions Our results support the use of endoscopic internal drainage in postsurgical abdominal leaks, regardless of the type of surgery, although only two patients with intrathoracic dehiscence were included.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system has been increasingly utilized as a non-surgical option to endoscopically manage refractory gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage, perforations/luminal defects and fistulas. Limited data exist evaluating the efficacy and safety of OTSC.
AIM To determine the clinical success and adverse event (AE) rates of OTSC across all GI indications.
METHODS A PubMed search was conducted for eligible articles describing the application of the OTSC system for any indication in the GI tract. Any article or case series reporting data for less than 5 total patients was excluded. The primary outcome was the rate of clinical success. Secondary outcomes included: Technical success rate, OTSC-related AE rate and requirement for surgical intervention despite-OTSC placement. Pooled rates (per-indication and overall) were calculated as the number of patients with the event of interest divided by the total number of patients.
RESULTS A total of 85 articles met our inclusion criteria (n = 3025 patients). OTSC was successfully deployed in 94.4% of patients (n = 2856/3025). The overall rate of clinical success (all indications) was 78.4% (n = 2371/3025). Per-indication clinical success rates were as follows: (1) 86.0% (1120/1303) for GI hemorrhage; (2) 85.3% (399/468) for perforation; (3) 55.8% (347/622) for fistulae; (4) 72.6% (284/391) for anastomotic leaks; (5) 92.8% (205/221) for defect closure following endoscopic resection (e.g., following endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection); and (6) 80.0% (16/20) for stent fixation. AE’s related to the deployment of OTSC were only reported in 64 of 85 studies (n = 1942 patients), with an overall AE rate of 2.1% (n = 40/1942). Salvage surgical intervention was required in 4.7% of patients (n = 143/3025).
CONCLUSION This systematic review demonstrates that the OTSC system is a safe and effective endoscopic therapy to manage GI hemorrhage, perforations, anastomotic leaks, defects created by endoscopic resections and for stent fixation. Clinical success in fistula management appears limited. Further studies, including randomized controlled trials comparing OTSC with conventional and/or surgical therapies, are needed to determine which indication(s) are the most effective for its use.

Abstract
Background A reliable and sterile access through the intestinal wall to ease flexible endoscopic transluminal interventions is still appealing but lacks a suitable port system. Methods In a granted industry cooperation, we developed the MIEO-Port, a flexible three components overtube system that provides a temporary hermetic sealing of the intestinal wall to allow endoscopic disinfection and manipulation to gain access to the abdominal cavity. The port features an innovative head part which allows for coupling the port to the intestinal wall by vacuum suction and for controlled jetting the isolated intestinal surface with a disinfectant. The device was tested in vivo in 6 pigs for acute and long-term usability. All animal tests were approved by the local ethics committee. Results In the acute experiment, the port system supported sealed endoscopic mucosa resection and transluminal cholecystectomy. In the survival study on 5 animals, the MIEO-Port proved its reliability after transcolonic peritoneoscopy. In one animal, a port dislocation occurred after extensive retroperitoneal preparation, one animal revealed bacterial contamination at necropsy; however, all animals showed a favourable course over ten days and offered no signs of peritonitis or abscedation during post-mortem examination. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, the MIEO-Port system is the first device to provide a reliable and sterile flexible access to the peritoneal cavity that can be used throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract regardless of the access route and which combines hermetic sealing with local sterilization. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Introduction: There are several reports on the use of the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) for gastrointestinal bleeding/fistula and endoscopic iatrogenic perforation. However, there are almost no reports on OTSC use for anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of AL closure using the OTSC.Material and methods: Five patients who had undergone AL after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer from April 2017 to April 2019 were evaluated.Results: The average distance from the anal verge of the anastomosis site was 12 (5-18) cm. The average diameter of the dehiscent part was 10.9 (9.3-14.4) mm. The average number of OTSC days after the occurrence of AL was 11 (5-22). On the contrast examination immediately after OTSC, all cases were completely closed, but in the later contrast examination, only one case remained completely closed. The average incompletely closed diameter was 3.6 (2.9-5.1) mm, and the diameter of the dehiscent part was reduced in all cases. Only one patient ultimately underwent colostomy; the rest were cured with OTSC alone.Conclusion: AL site closure using the OTSC after colorectal cancer surgery is a useful minimally invasive treatment when combined with appropriate drain management.

Abstract
In gastrointestinal perforation or fistula, endoscopic closure techniques could be used as alternatives to surgery. Early endoscopic recognition and treatment of gastrointestinal perforation is the most important factor determining procedural success and clinical outcomes. The over-the-scope clip with full-thickness grasping capability provides greater technical and clinical success rates compared with the through-the-scope clips. Although the technical success rate of chronic fistula closure is comparable to perforation closure, it has a significantly lower clinical success owing to its less healthy tissue edge of the fistula. The over-the-scope clip system should be considered before surgery for the closure of perforation and fistula.

Abstract
The over-the-scope clip is safe and efficacious and has become the preferred device of choice for the treatment of complex gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and gastrointestinal leaks. With its widespread adoption in clinical practice, information on complications associated with over-the-scope clip use is emerging. Nonetheless, the overall complication rate is still very low. Most of the reported complications have been related to the technique rather than the actual device and could likely be prevented with proper technique. In this article, the authors summarize the complications associated with over-the-scope clip use and provide guidance on safety measure to mitigate them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic management of full-thickness gastrointestinal tract defects (FTGID) has become an attractive management strategy, as it avoids the morbidity of surgery. We have previously described the short-term outcomes of over-the-scope clip management of 22 patients with non-acute FTGID. This study updates our prior findings with a larger sample size and longer follow-up period. METHODS A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted. All patients undergoing over-the-scope clip management of FTGID between 2013 and 2019 were identified. Acute perforations immediately managed and FTGID requiring endoscopic suturing were excluded. Patient demographics, endoscopic adjunct therapies, number of endoscopic interventions, and need for operative management were evaluated. Success was strictly defined as complete FTGID closure. RESULTS We identified 92 patients with 117 FTGID (65 fistulae and 52 leaks); 27.2% had more than one FTGID managed simultaneously. The OTSC device (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tubingen, Germany) was utilized in all cases. Additional closure attempts were required in 22.2% of defects. With a median follow-up period of 5.5 months, overall defect closure success rate was 66.1% (55.0% fistulae vs. 79.6% leaks, p = 0.007). There were four mortalities from causes unrelated to the FTGID. Only 14.9% of patients with FTGID underwent operative management. There were no complications related to endoscopic intervention and no patients required urgent surgical intervention. CONCLUSIONS Over-the-scope clip management of FTGID represents a safe alternative to potentially morbid operative intervention. When strictly defining success as complete closure of all FTGID, endoscopy was successful in 64.4% of patients with only a small minority of patients ultimately requiring surgery.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term behavior of the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) after gastric application.Material and methods: A database of all patients who had OTSC placement with regular follow-up at a tertiary hospital between November 2013 and September 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. The incidence, time, and related adverse events of clip attachment and detachment were recorded. The relationship between the position of the clip and detachment was assessed by Fisher's exact test.Results: Seventy-two patients who had gastric OTSC placement due to iatrogenic perforations by endoscopic interventions were included in the study. The overall incidence of clip detachment was 27.8% (20/72). Fisher's exact test confirmed a significant association between clip detachment rate and clip position (p = .005): cardia 50% (3/6); gastric fundus 13.2% (5/38); gastric body 75% (9/16); and gastric antrum 25% (3/12). Except for one patient (5%; 1/20) who experienced minor gastric hemorrhage, there were no complications related to spontaneous clip detachment. There was no delayed bleeding, perforation, or obstruction due to clips staying in place in the long-term.Conclusions: Long-term gastric clip attachment appears to be safe even if spontaneous detachment occurs.

Abstract
Since its market launch in 2007, the endoscopic OTSC clipping system has been the object of intensive clinical research. These data were systematically collected for post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF). The aim of the study was the systematic review of the efficacy and safety of the OTSC System. The PMCF database was systematically searched for clinical data on OTSC therapy of GI hemorrhage (H), acute leaks/perforations (AL) and chronic leaks/fistulae (CL). Major outcomes were successful clip application and durable hemostasis/closure of defects. Comprehensive pooled success proportions were established by meta-analytical methods. Four-hundred-fifty-seven publications were reviewed. Fifty-eight articles comprising 1868 patients fulfilled criteria to be included in the analysis. These consisted of retrospective analyses, prospective observational trials, one randomized-controlled trial (STING) and one quasi-controlled study (FLETRock). The pooled proportion analysis revealed high overall proportions of technical success: H - mean 93.0% [95%CI 90.2-95.4], AL-mean 89.7% [95%CI 85.9-92.9] and CL-mean 83.8% [95%CI 76.9-89.7]. Pooled durable clinical success proportions were: H-mean 87.5% [95%CI 80.5-93.2], AL-mean 81.4% [95%CI 77.0-85.3] and CL-mean 63.0% [95%CI 53.0-72.3]. By pooling all clinical data gained, we conclude that OTSC application in GI hemorrhage and closure of GI lesions is safe and effective in real clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colon perforation is the most serious complication associated with colonoscopic procedures. We performed a novel purse-string suture technique to close the iatrogenic colonic perforation using dual-channel endoscope with an endoloop and clips. METHODS Iatrogenic colon perforations developed during diagnostic colonoscopy referred to a tertiary hospital over 10 years were considered for this endoscopic closure. An endoloop was inserted through the left channel of the endoscope and placed around the defect. The first clip was placed at the proximal site of the defect through the other channel of the endoscope, and the endoloop was anchored on the mucosa around the defect. Then, subsequent clips were placed next to previous clips and the endoloop was fixed. After the defect was encircled by the endoloop and clips, the rim of the opening was approximated by fastening the endoloop with a purse-string technique. RESULTS A total of 8 patients were admitted to our hospital because of iatrogenic colon perforations during diagnostic colonoscopy. Of these, 2 underwent laparoscopic surgery and 6 underwent endoscopic closure by this novel purse-string suture technique. The estimated diameters of the perforations were 20 mm. All cases were successfully treated in the endoscopy unit without sedation or general anesthesia, and recovered without any complication or subsequent operation. Abdominal pain had nearly resolved within 3 days after the procedure in all patients, and only mild peritonitis was observed. CONCLUSIONS Iatrogenic colon perforation can be treated with a purse-string suture technique using dual-channel endoscope with an endoloop and clips. This technique can be useful for relatively large colon perforations associated with diagnostic colonoscopy.

Abstract
Rescue therapy for gastrointestinal (GI) refractory bleeding, perforation, and fistula has traditionally required surgical interventions owing to the limited performance of conventional endoscopic instruments and techniques. An innovative clipping system, the over-the-scope clip (OTSC), may play an important role in rescue therapy. This innovative device is proposed as the final option in endoscopic treatment. The device presents several advantages including having a powerful sewing force for closure of GI defects using a simple mechanism and also having an innovative feature, whereby a large defect and fistula can be sealed using accessory forceps. Consequently, it is able to provide outstanding clinical effects for rescue therapy. This review clarifies the current status and limitations of OTSC according to different indications of GI refractory disease, including refractory bleeding, perforation, fistula, and anastomotic dehiscence. An extensive literature search identified studies reported 10 or more cases in which the OTSC system was applied. A total of 1517 cases described in 30 articles between 2010 and 2018 were retrieved. The clinical success rates and complications were calculated overall and for each indication. The average clinical success rate was 78% (n = 1517) overall, 85% for bleeding (n = 559), 85% (n = 351) for perforation, 52% (n = 388) for fistula, 66% (n = 97) for anastomotic dehiscence, and 95% (n = 122) for other conditions, respectively. The overall and severe OTSC-associated complications were 1.7% (n = 23) and 0.59% (n = 9), respectively. This review concludes that the OTSC system may serve as a safe and productive device for GI refractory diseases, albeit with limited success for fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The full-thickness resection device (FTRD) represents a novel endoscopic treatment method for lesions unresectable with conventional endoscopic techniques. The overall aim of this study was to evaluate technical success and in toto resection rates, recurrence rates, as well as immediate or late complications in patients who underwent polyp removal with the FTRD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from a prospectively collected database of 12 patients who underwent 13 over-the-scope clip-based full-thickness resections between June 2015 and June 2017 were analyzed. Follow-up endoscopy was performed in 11 out of 12 patients. RESULTS 13 full-thickness resections were performed in 7 males and 5 females (mean age 64.3 ± 6.3 years). Mean size of the lesions removed with FTRD was 17 ± 4 mm. Location was rectum (n = 6), cecum (n = 2), ascending colon (n = 2), left flexure (n = 1) and right flexure (n = 2). Mean procedure time was 68 ± 35 minutes and mean hospital stay was 2.5 ± 1.2 days. 2 patients developed post-polypectomy syndrome, which resolved after conservative treatment. No perforations and no immediate surgical revision were needed. Histology of the 13 lesions removed with FTRD showed 5 adenomas with low grade intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN), 4 high grade IEN, 1 fibrosis, 1 fibrosis without dysplasia and 2 adenocarcinomas. Technical success was achieved in all procedures (13/13, 100 %). R0 resection was achieved in 10/12 patients (83.3 %). 2 patients underwent surgery because of recurrence or not evaluable margins. In 1 patient no residual malignancy was proven in histological examination, in the other patient residual low grade IEN adenoma. CONCLUSION FTRD is a minimally invasive approach with good success rate of complete resection and minimal side effects.
