Feasibility and safety of 0.6% sodium alginate in endoscopic submucosal dissection for colorectal neoplastic lesion: A pilot study. DEN OPEN 2024; 4:e313. [PMID: 37927953 PMCID: PMC10625103 DOI: 10.1002/deo2.313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Objectives The usefulness of 0.6% sodium alginate (SA) as a submucosal (SM) injection solution for endoscopic SM dissection (ESD) has gained attention over the past few years. However, using ESD for colorectal neoplastic lesions is not explicitly researched as yet. Thus, we conducted this study to determine the feasibility and safety of 0.6% SA solution for colorectal ESD. Methods In this single-center, retrospective pilot study, a total of 100 cases treated with ESD using 0.6% SA as a SM injection solution for colorectal neoplasia at our institute were retrospectively reviewed to clarify the clinical feasibility and safety of 0.6% SA. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the complication rate, and the secondary endpoint was to determine the procedure time and the amount of solution used. Results Intraoperative perforation was observed in 1 case (1.0%), 2 cases (2.0%) presented with postprocedural hemorrhage, and no lethal adverse events were observed. The median ESD procedure times were 39.5 min (10-150), and the amount of solution used was less than 20 mL in 67 cases (67.0%). En-bloc resection could be achieved in 97 cases (97.0%). Although six cases underwent subsequent surgery due to the deep SM invasion (>1000 μm), there were no cases with nodal involvement, confirmed through histopathological evaluation. Conclusions Our findings indicate that 0.6% SA can potentially ensure safe and secure ESD for colorectal neoplasia.

Risk of Residual Neoplasia after a Local-Risk Resection of Colorectal Lesions by Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A Multinational Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5356. [PMID: 37629398 PMCID: PMC10455482 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12165356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in colorectal lesions is demanding, and a significant rate of non-curative procedures is expected. We aimed to assess the rate of residual lesion after a piecemeal ESD resection, or after an en bloc resection but with positive horizontal margins (local-risk resection-LocRR), for colorectal benign neoplasia. A retrospective multicenter analysis of consecutive colorectal ESDs was performed. Patients with LocRR ESDs for the treatment of benign colorectal lesions with at least one follow-up endoscopy were included. A cohort of en bloc resected lesions, with negative margins, was used as the control. A total of 2255 colorectal ESDs were reviewed; 352 of the ESDs were "non-curative". Among them, 209 were LocRR: 133 high-grade dysplasia and 76 low-grade dysplasia. Ten cases were excluded due to missing data. A total of 146 consecutive curative resections were retrieved for comparison. Compared to the "curative group", LocRRs were observed in lengthier procedures, with larger lesions, and in non-granular LSTs. Recurrence was higher in the LocRR group (16/199, 8% vs. 1/146, 0.7%; p = 0.002). However, statistical significance was lost when considering only en bloc resections with positive horizontal margins (p = 0.068). In conclusion, a higher rate of residual lesion was found after a piecemeal ESD resection, but not after an en bloc resection with positive horizontal margins.

Abstract
Recent improvements in endoscopists' skills and technological advances have allowed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to become a standard treatment in general hospitals. As this treatment entails a high risk of accidental perforation or hemorrhage, therapeutic procedures and training methods that enable ESD to be conducted more safely and efficiently are constantly being developed. This article reviews the therapeutic procedures and training methods used to improve the safety and efficiency of ESD and describes the ESD training system used in a Japanese university hospital at which the number of ESD procedures has gradually increased in a newly established Department of Digestive Endoscopy. During the establishment of this department, the ESD perforation rate was zero among all procedures, including those conducted by trainees.

Surg Endosc 2021; 36:2062-2069. [PMID: 33860350 PMCID: PMC8847190 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08492-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (FTR) is a novel technique of endoscopic treatment of colorectal neoplastic lesions not suitable for endoscopic polypectomy or mucosal resection. FTR appears to be a reasonable alternative to technically demanding endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for lesions ≤ 30 mm. However, comparison between FTR and ESD has not been published yet and their mutual positioning in the treatment algorithm is still unclear. The purpose of the analysis was to evaluate efficacy and safety of FTR in the treatment of colorectal lesions ≤ 30 mm by comparing prospectively followed FTR cohort to retrospective ESD cohort in the setting of single tertiary endoscopy center. Primary outcomes were technical success rate, R0 resection and curative resection rate, and complication rate. A total of 52 patients in FTR and 50 patients in ESD group were treated between 2015 and 2018. Technical success rate was significantly higher in FTR group (92 vs. 74%, P = 0.01) as well as R0 resection rate (85 vs. 62%, P = 0.01) and curative resection rate (75 vs. 56%, P = 0.01). Complications occurred more frequently in ESD group (40 vs. 13%, P = 0.002), mainly due to high incidence of electrocoagulation syndrome (24 vs. 0%). Total procedure time was substantially shorter in FTR group (26.4 ± 11.0 min vs. estimated 90-240 min). Local residual neoplastic lesions were detected numerically more often in FTR group (12 vs. 5%, P = 0.12). No patient died during follow-up. Compared to ESD, FTR proved significantly higher technical success rate, higher R0 and curative resection rate, and shorter procedure time. In the FTR group, there were significantly less complications but higher incidence of local residual neoplasia. Further research including randomized trials is needed to compare both resection techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables removal of broad-based colorectal polyps or lateral spreading tumors with a higher rate of en bloc resection and a lower risk of local recurrence. However, it is technically demanding. Over the past 20 years, various equipment and innovative techniques have been developed to reduce the difficulty of ESD. The information in the literature is scattered. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive review on the setup and technical aspects of colorectal ESD. METHODS We searched the PubMed database and systemically reviewed all original and review articles related to colorectal ESD. Further manual search according to reference lists of identified articles were done. The selected articles were categorized and reviewed. Original figures were created to help readers understand some of the ESD techniques. RESULTS A total of 216 articles were identified, in which 25 of them were review articles and 191 of them were original articles. They were categorized and reviewed. An in-depth appraisal of the setting, equipment, and technical aspects of colorectal ESD was performed. CONCLUSIONS Although ESD is a technically demanding procedure that requires expert endoscopic skills, it can be mastered. With good peri-procedural preparation, sufficient knowledge of the equipment, and thorough understanding of the useful endoscopic tricks and maneuvers, colorectal ESD can be performed smoothly and safely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal submucosal tumors (SMTs) is becoming increasingly common; however, there have been few large consecutive studies analyzing its therapeutic efficacy and safety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and long-term outcomes of ESD for colorectal SMTs. METHODS This retrospective study included 412 consecutive patients with colorectal SMTs who underwent ESD at the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2008 to July 2014. Tumor histopathology, completeness of resection, adverse events, tumor recurrence, and distant metastasis were analyzed. RESULTS Complete resection was achieved for 358 lesions (86.9%). Thirteen patients had serious adverse events (3.2%) including bleeding and perforation, and 28 patients (6.8%) had post-ESD electrocoagulation syndrome (PEECS). Because more ESDs for colorectal SMTs were performed by endoscopists, the rate of complete resection increased (78.5% vs 88.5%), and the rate of serious adverse events decreased (9.2% vs 2.0%). SMTs in the colon increased the risk of incomplete resection (19.6% vs 11.3%), serious adverse events (8.7% vs 1.6%), and PEECS (16.3% vs 4.1%). SMTs originating from the muscularis propria and sized ≥20 mm increased the rate of PEECS (22.7% vs 5.9% and 31.3% vs 5.8%, respectively). CONCLUSION ESD is effective for resection of colorectal SMTs and rarely causes serious adverse events. Tumor location and the experience of endoscopists influence the complete resection rate and the development of serious adverse events. ESD is feasible for large tumors and tumors in the muscularis propria, but this is associated with relatively high risks of adverse events.

Abstract
In Japan, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) becomes one of standard therapies for large colorectal tumors. Recently, the efficacy of ESD has been reported all over the world. However, it is still difficult even for Japanese experts in some situations. Right-sided location, large tumor size, high degree of fibrosis, difficult manipulation is related with the difficulty. However, improvements on ESD devices, suitable strategies, and increase of operators' experiences enable us to solve these problems. In this chapter, we introduce recent topics about various difficult factors of colorectal ESD and the tips such as strategy, devices, injection, and traction method [Pocket-creation method (PCM) etc.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM There are limited studies on incidence rates of metachronous neoplastic lesions after resecting large colorectal polyps. In the present study, we analyzed metachronous lesions after endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps ≥20 mm in size. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic resection of polyps from 2006 to 2013 at two affiliated hospitals. All patients underwent at least two total colonoscopies before follow up to ensure minimal missed polyps. Only patients who had follow-up colonoscopy annually after resection were recruited. We separated patients according to size of polyp resected; there were 239 patients in the ≥20-mm group and 330 patients in the <20-mm group. Clinical characteristics and cumulative rates of metachronous advanced adenoma and cancer in both groups were analyzed. Advanced adenoma was defined as a neoplastic lesion ≥10 mm in size and adenoma with a villous component. RESULTS Cumulative rate of development of metachronous advanced adenoma and cancer in the ≥20-mm group was significantly higher than in the <20-mm group (22.9% vs. 9.5%, P < 0.001) at 36 months. There was also more development of small polyps 5-9 mm in the ≥20-mm group than in the <20-mm group (45.2% vs. 28.8%, P < 0.001). With respect to metachronous lesions, there were more right-sided colonic lesions in the ≥20-mm group than in the <20-mm group (78.8% vs. 50.0%, P = 0.015). CONCLUSION High incidence rates of development of metachronous neoplastic lesions were detected after resection of colorectal polyps ≥20 mm in size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a useful treatment method; however, no index has been established for time for patient to start food ingestion or be discharged after ESD. We investigated the potential of a clinical pathway in which patients started food ingestion on day 2 after ESD and were discharged on day 3. METHODS A total of 382 patients underwent colorectal ESD between 2006 and 2012. A flow chart of a clinical pathway was prepared based on the data obtained, with the aim of shortening hospital stay after ESD. RESULTS Mean duration of postoperative hospital stay in the 382 patients was 5.3 ± 1.8 days. The most common cause of extended hospital stay was abnormal blood test finding, as detected in 50 patients in group C (n = 131; 38.2%), followed by careful course observations, as noted in 48 patients in group C (n = 131; 36.6%). Regarding procedural accidents as a result of ESD, intraoperative perforation occurred in 15 patients (3.9%) and post-ESD bleeding in seven patients (1.8%), which extended the hospital stay. Food ingestion was started on day 2 when no abnormality was noted during ESD or in physical and imaging findings or blood tests on day 1. In the 86 patients who underwent the prepared clinical pathway as a validation study, 68 (79.0%) were discharged on day 3. Duration of postoperative hospital stay was 3.4 ± 1.2 days. CONCLUSION Discharge may be possible 3 days after ESD when no abnormalities are noted during ESD or on post-ESD day 1.

Risk of lens cloudiness during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection and ability of a novel lens cleaner to maintain and restore endoscopic view. Dig Endosc 2015; 27:609-17. [PMID: 25613857 DOI: 10.1111/den.12442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2014] [Accepted: 01/19/2015] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Generally, colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) cannot be carried out with severe lens cloudiness. We examined the occurrence of lens cloudiness during ESD as well as the efficacy of a novel cleaner for it. METHODS This study was a prospective study compared to historical control. First, we analyzed 103 ESD cases using standard cleaner at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in 2012. Relationship between lens cloudiness and clinical characteristics of lesions was analyzed. Lens cloudiness was recorded as grade 0 (clear) to grade 2 (very unclear). Then, we recruited 92 consecutive patients who underwent colorectal ESD using the novel cleaner from August 2013 to July 2014. The cleaner was applied on top of the lens before procedure and ability to prevent lens cloudiness was tested. Additionally, the novel cleaner was injected from endoscopic channel into a space created by endoscopic hood and colonic wall in seven cases with grade 1 or 2 of lens cloudiness and the ability to clean lens cloudiness inside the colon was tested. RESULTS Rate of severe lens cloudiness was 8.7%. Multivariate analysis showed that severe lens cloudiness was related with severe submucosal fatty tissue (P < 0.001). The novel cleaner had significantly less cloudiness cases compared to the standard cleaner (14.1% vs 33.0%, P = 0.002). Additionally, the novel cleaner enabled us to clean lens cloudiness in all seven cases. CONCLUSION Lens cloudiness during ESD was associated with submucosal fatty tissue. Effective lens cleaner should be used to prevent and clean lens cloudiness.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of prophylaxis with antibiotics on clinical adverse events in patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for colorectal lesions.
METHODS: From June 2011 to December 2013, a total of 428 patients were enrolled into the study, of which 214 patients admitted to hospital underwent EMR or ESD procedures. These patients were randomized to an antibiotic group, in which patients were given cefuroxime 1.5 g iv half an hour before and 6 h after surgery respectively, and a control group, in which patients were not given any antibiotic. A further 214 outpatients with small polyps treated by polypectomy were compared with controls that were matched by age and gender, and operations were performed as outpatient surgery. Recorded patient parameters were demographics, characteristics of lesions and treatment modality, and the size of the wound area. The primary outcome measures were clinical adverse events, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, hemotachezia, and fever. Secondary outcome measures were white blood cell count, C-reactive protein and blood culture. Additionlly, the relationship between the size of the wound area and clinical adverse events was analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 409 patients were enrolled in this study, with 107 patients in the control group, 107 patients in the antibiotic group, and another 195 cases in the follow-up outpatient group. The patients’ demographic characteristics, including age, gender, characteristics of lesions, treatment modality, and the size of the wound area were similar between the 2 groups. The rates of adverse events in the antibiotic group were significantly lower than in the control group: abdominal pain (2.8% vs 14.9%, P < 0.01), diarrhea (2.0% vs 9.3%, P < 0.05), and fever (0.9% vs 8.4%, P < 0.05) respectively. The levels of inflammatory markers also decreased significantly in the antibiotic group compared with the control group: leukocytosis (2.0% vs 11.2%, P < 0.01), and C-reactive protein (2.0% vs 10.7%, P < 0.05). Additionally, clinical adverse events were related to the size of the surgical wound area. When the surgical wound area was larger than 10 mm × 10 mm, there were more clinical adverse events.
CONCLUSION: Clinical adverse events are not uncommon after EMR or ESD procedures. Prophylactic antibiotics can reduce the incidence of clinical adverse events. This should be further explored.

Impact of formal training in endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastrointestinal cancer: A systematic review and a meta-analysis. World J Gastrointest Endosc 2015; 7:417-428.

Abstract
AIM: To summarize the clinical impact of a formal training for the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastrointestinal cancer.
METHODS: We searched databases including PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library and Science citation Index updated to August 2014 to include eligible articles. In the Meta-analysis, the main outcome measurements were en bloc resection rate, local recurrence rate (R0) and the incidence of procedure-related complications (perforation, bleeding).
RESULTS: En bloc resection was high for both, dissecting stomach tumors with an overall percentage of 93.2% (95%CI: 90.5-95.8) and dissecting colorectal tumors with an overall percentage of 89.4% (95%CI: 85.1-93.7). Although the number of studies reporting R0 resection (the dissected specimen was revealed free of tumor in both vertical and lateral margins) was small, the overall estimates for R0 resection were 81.4% (95%CI: 72-90.8) for stomach and 85.9% (95%CI: 77.5-95.5) for colorectal tumors, respectively. The analysis showed that the percentage of immediate perforation and bleeding were very low; 4.96 (95%CI: 3.6-6.3) and 1.4% (95%CI: 0.8-1.9) for colorectal tumors and 3.1% (95%CI: 2.0-4.1) and 4.8% (95%CI: 2.8-6.7) for stomach tumors, respectively.
CONCLUSION: In order to obtain the same rate of success of the analyzed studies it is a necessity to create training centers in the western countries during the “several years” of gastroenterology residence first only to teach EGC diagnose and second only to train endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Abstract
PURPOSE The detailed efficacy of intraluminal L-menthol for preventing colonic spasm is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of L-menthol in preventing colonic spasm during colonoscopy. METHODS We analyzed 65 patients (mean age: 71.7 years; 49 men and 16 women) who were administered 0.8% L-menthol (MINCLEA, Nihon Seiyaku, Tokyo, Japan) intraluminally for severe colonic spasm during colonoscopic examination at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine between February 2012 and May 2013. The efficacy of L-menthol was defined as the absence of colonic spasm during a period of 30 s, and its effect was evaluated at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min after administration. Additionally, various characteristics of these patients were analyzed. Twenty-seven patients with severe colonic spasm were administered intraluminal water and assessed as controls. RESULTS L-Menthol was effective in preventing colonic spasms in 60.0%, 70.8%, and 46.5% of patients at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min, respectively. In contrast, water was effective in 22.2%, 29.6%, and 48.1% of patients at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min, respectively. There was a significant difference about the efficacy at 30 s and 1 min between L-menthol and water (P = 0.0009, P = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS L-Menthol (0.8%) was effective in preventing colonic spasm during colonoscopic examination.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) – initially developed for the treatment of early gastric cancer in Japan – is an attractive option for en bloc resection of larger sessile or flat colorectal neoplasia. Methods A review of the current literature on colorectal ESD was carried out. Results In contrast to conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), ESD for larger colorectal neoplasia yields high en bloc resection rates and very low recurrence rates. The frequency of delayed bleeding is similar for EMR and ESD. Higher perforation rates during ESD are mostly due to microperforations identified and treated during the intervention, and are therefore of minor clinical relevance. A major disadvantage of ESD is the necessity for high-level endoscopic skills and long procedure times. ESD also has the potential to replace laparoscopic surgery or transanal endoscopic microsurgery mainly due to its lower complication rates. Conclusion ESD for the resection of larger flat or sessile colorectal lesions has potential advantages over conventional EMR or minimally invasive surgery. Due to the low incidence of early gastric cancer, experience with ESD will remain limited in Western countries. The spread of colorectal ESD will depend on adequate training opportunities and also on modifications yielding a reduction in procedure time.

Clinical practice of endoscopic submucosal dissection for early colorectal neoplasms by a colonoscopist with limited gastric experience. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2013; 2013:262171. [PMID: 24391666 PMCID: PMC3874345 DOI: 10.1155/2013/262171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2013] [Accepted: 11/24/2013] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early colorectal neoplasms is regarded as a difficult technique and should commence after receiving the experiences of ESD in the stomach. The implementation of colorectal ESD in countries where early gastric cancer is uncommon might therefore be difficult. The aim is to delineate the feasibility and the learning curve of colorectal ESD performed by a colonoscopist with limited experience of gastric ESD. Methods. The first fifty cases of colorectal ESD, which were performed by a single colonoscopist between July 2010 and April 2013, were enrolled. Results. The mean of age was 64 (±9.204) years with mean size of neoplasm at 33 (±12.63) mm. The mean of procedure time was 70.5 (±48.9) min. The rates of en bloc resection, R0 resection, and curative resection were 86%, 86%, and 82%, respectively. Three patients had immediate perforation, but no patient developed delayed perforation or delayed bleeding. Conclusion. Our result disclosed that it is feasible for colorectal ESD to be performed by a colonoscopist with little experience of gastric ESD through satisfactory training and adequate case selection.

Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics of difficult cases and the learning curve in colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods. We studied 518 colorectal tumors treated by ESD. Patients were divided into 2 groups such as the difficult ESD group and non-difficult ESD group in view of procedure time and procedure speed, respectively. The clinical features in each group were analyzed, and we also examined cases with severe fibrosis. Furthermore, we divided all cases into 5 periods according to experience of ESDs and investigated the rates of difficult and perforation cases. Results. In view of both procedure time and procedure speed, there were significant differences about mean tumor size, rates of severe fibrosis and perforation, and en bloc resection rate between the two groups. Severe fibrosis was detected in protruding tumors >40 mm in diameter. With respect to the learning curve, the rate of difficult and perforation cases decreased significantly in the late periods compared to the first period. Conclusions. Large tumor size, high rates of severe fibrosis and perforation, and low rate of en bloc resection are related with difficult ESD cases. The increasing of experiences can decrease the rate of difficult cases and perforation.
