Study on the Effect of Different Endoscopic Auxiliary Treatment of Gastric Mucosal Microtumor

Objective

To explore the effect of endoscopy in the treatment of gastric mucosal microtumors.

Methods

A total of 229 patients with gastric mucosal microtumors were treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2021. All patients were divided into three groups group A, group B, and group C. Group A was treated with a transparent cap combined with circle-assisted endoscopic resection, group B with ligator combined with circle-assisted endoscopic resection, and group C with endoscopic mucosal tumor resection. The effects of the three groups were observed.

Results

There were 47 patients in group A, 17 males, and 30 females, aged 36-69 years, with an average age of 55.6 ± 9.2 years. There were 54 patients in group B, 18 males, and 36 females, aged 38-72 years, with an average age of 57.6 ± 7.7 years. There were 128 patients in group C, 29 males, and 99 females, aged 33-78 years, with an average age of 55.6 ± 8.4 years. There is no significant difference in age and sex between group A, group B, and group C (P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in group B (66.7%) was significantly higher than that in group A (57.4%) and group C (53.9%) (all P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in group A (57.4%) was higher than that in group C (53.9%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Endoscopic mucosal resection and ligation combined with circle-assisted endoscopic resection are effective and safe in the treatment of gastric mucosal microtumors, but it needs to be combined with targeted nursing measures. The transparent cap combined with ring-assisted endoscopic resection has a significant effect on the treatment of gastric mucosal micromasses, reducing operative complications.
