Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been accepted as a standard treatment in early gastric cancer (EGC) patients with negligible risk of lymph node metastasis. However, there are limited data regarding the long-term outcomes of ESD in comparison with surgery. This study aimed to compare the overall, recurrence-free, and metachronous cancer-free survival rates after ESD and surgery.

Methods: From May 2003 to December 2007, 391 patients with 413 EGCs and 258 patients with 276 EGCs were treated by ESD and surgery, respectively. According to inclusion criteria, 288 patients in the ESD group and 173 patients in the surgery group were eligible for this study. Using propensity score matching, 88 patients were analyzed per group.

Results: The overall survival rates were 92.0 % in the ESD group and 90.2 % in the surgery group. Local recurrence was observed in five patients (1.7 %) in the ESD group and distant recurrence in one patient (0.6 %) in the surgery group. Metachronous gastric cancers were detected in 14 patients (4.9 %) in the ESD group, whereas no patient in the surgery group. Kaplan-Meier curves exhibited no significant differences in overall or recurrence-free survival between the two groups. However, metachronous cancer-free survival of the ESD group was significantly lower than that of the surgery group (p = 0.002). In the ESD group, the late complication rate was significantly lower (0 vs. 6.8 %, p = 0.029), and the duration of hospital stay was shorter (7.3 vs. 14.2 days, p < 0.001), compared with the surgery group.

Conclusions: The overall survival was similar between the ESD and surgery groups. Compared with surgery, the benefits of ESD included fewer late complications and shorter hospital stay duration.

Background: Thermal damage may lead to inflammation of the peeled mucosal surface during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Aim: To determine the effect of Joule heat on the onset of post-ESD electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS).

Methods: In this prospective study, PECS was characterized by in-hospital fever (white blood cell count: ≥ 10000 μ/L or body temperature ≥ 37.

Is endoscopic submucosal dissection safe in the management of early-stage colorectal cancers?

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is increasingly being adopted for the treatment of early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) lesions.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with early-stage CRC treated between 2015 and 2023, using ESD and colectomy databases, categorizing them into three groups: ESD only (n ​= ​24), oncological colorectal resection (OCR) only (n ​= ​90), and OCR after ESD (n ​= ​59). We compared pathological and oncological outcomes among these groups.

Objective: Babies born between 27 and 31 weeks of gestation contribute substantially towards infant mortality and morbidity. In England, their care is delivered in maternity services colocated with highly specialised neonatal intensive care units (NICU) or less specialised local neonatal units (LNU). We investigated whether birth setting offered survival and/or morbidity advantages to inform National Health Service delivery.

Introduction: Long-term data on metachronous advanced adenoma (AA) recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) remain scarce, leading to a lack of a standardized surveillance strategy. This study aims to evaluate the long-term risk of recurrent AA after ESD.

Materials And Methods: A longitudinal retrospective cohort study with propensity-score matching was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Hong Kong.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection versus endoscopic mucosal resection for laterally spreading rectal tumours.

Aim: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are the two main techniques used for endoscopic resection of superficial rectal tumours. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of ESD and EMR in treating superficial rectal tumours.

Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted at two French centres including all patients treated with ESD or EMR for superficial rectal tumours.
