Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the experience of using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a technique considered as first-line of treatment, for the management of early neoplastic lesions (ENL), and subepithelial lesions (SEL) < 4 cms in size, in a tertiary-care, high-volume medical center in Mexico.
Method: Patients > 18 years-old, candidates to ESD with ENL and SMT, between January 2008 and October 2022 were included.
Results: ESD was performed in 246 patients (137 ENL and 109 SMT), 52.
Article Synopsis
- Z-POEM has emerged as an effective therapy for Zenker's diverticulum (ZD), showing excellent short-term results and now demonstrating long-term efficacy over a minimum of two years.
- This study analyzed data from 89 patients across multiple international institutions, focusing on clinical success defined by significant symptom improvement without additional procedures in the first six months.
- Results indicated a high technical success rate (97.8%), significant improvement in dysphagia and other symptoms, with only a 6.7% recurrence rate at around 37 months of follow-up, highlighting Z-POEM's safety and durability as a treatment option.
