AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) performed under general anesthesia.
- A total of 206 patients underwent ESD for various neoplasms, showing very high rates of en bloc resection and low complication rates, with no significant issues like aspiration pneumonia.
- The findings suggest that ESD under general anesthesia is a safe and effective approach, with minimized risks when an anesthesiologist is involved.
Article Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) under general anesthesia.
Methods: From January 2011 to July 2014, 206 consecutive patients had undergone ESD under general anesthesia for neoplasms of the stomach, esophagus, and colorectum were enrolled in this retrospective study. The efficacy and safety of ESD under general anesthesia were assessed.
Results: The en bloc resection rate of esophageal, gastric, and colorectal lesions was 100.0%, 98.3%, and 96.1%, respectively. The complication rate of perforation and bleeding were 0.0% and 0.0% in esophageal ESD, 1.7% and 1.7% in gastric ESD, and 3.9% and 2.0% in colorectal ESD, respectively. No cases of aspiration pneumonia were observed. All complications were managed by conservative treatment, with no surgical intervention required.
Conclusion: With the cooperation of an anesthesiologist, ESD under general anesthesia appears to be a useful method, decreasing the risk of complications.
