AI Article Synopsis

  • The early clip-with-line (ECL) method was developed to improve visualization during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) by starting traction immediately after injecting sodium hyaluronate, instead of waiting until after a mucosal flap is created.
  • A study compared 41 colorectal ESD cases, 27 using traditional methods and 14 using ECL, showing that ECL significantly reduced procedure time (66 minutes vs. 90 minutes) without increasing risk of perforation.
  • The findings suggest that the ECL method is effective and safe, making ESD procedures faster and potentially less risky.

Article Abstract

Background: Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) remains demanding due to technical difficulties and high risk of perforation. Most of the reported traction methods are initiated after creating a mucosal flap, which is time consuming. To obtain a good visualization at the mucosal incision stage, we developed the early clip-with-line (ECL) method. This method was started immediately after injection of sodium hyaluronate solution into the submucosal layer. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and the safety of the ECL method for colorectal ESD.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all cases of colorectal ESDs (41 cases in total) performed from January 2017 to February 2019 in our institution. From January 2017 to August 2018, 27 of these cases were performed using conventional (non-ECL) ESDs, while from September 2018 onwards, the remaining 14 cases were performed using the ECL method. Retrospective comparison between the ECL group and the non-ECL group was conducted in terms of clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and adverse events.

Results: There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics between two groups. Procedure time (median [range]) was significantly shorter in the ECL group than in the non-ECL group (66 [29-131] min vs 90 [30-410] min; P = 0.03). As for adverse events, no case of perforation occurred in the ECL group, whereas perforation was observed in 7.4% (2/27) cases in the non-ECL group (no significant difference).

Conclusion: Early clip-with-line method for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection reduced procedure time.

Background: Esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the gold standard for the treatment of precancerous lesions or superficial esophageal cancers. This procedure is currently performed by expert endoscopists only, and poorly standardized. We aimed to assess the technical results and outcomes of a "tunnel + clip" strategy for esophageal ESD procedures performed by less experienced operators for the treatment of superficial neoplasms.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard treatment for early gastric cancers (EGCs), but because of the obscured view and difficulty in submucosal lifting it is time consuming and poses high risk of perforation and bleeding in large lesions. In endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) technique, good visualization of the submucosal layer can be achieved in the tunnel, it is, therefore, easy to discern the muscularis propria and visualize the vessels in the submucosal area. This study aims to evaluate the technical feasibility, efficacy, and safety of ESTD in comparison with conventional ESD (cESD) technique for treatment of EGCs.
