Background And Aims: Endoscopic resection of nonampullary duodenal adenoma is often challenging, and its technique has not yet been standardized. To overcome the practical difficulty of conventional endoscopic mucosal resection, underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) was recently developed; therefore, we investigated the effectiveness and safety of UEMR for nonampullary duodenal adenoma.
Methods: A multicenter, prospective cohort study was conducted at 21 institutions in Japan. We enrolled patients with no more than 2 nonampullary duodenal adenomas ≤20 mm in size, who were planned to undergo UEMR. After UEMR, follow-up endoscopies were scheduled at 2 and 12 months after the procedure, and biopsy specimens were taken from the post-UEMR scars. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with histologically proven nonrecurrence at follow-up endoscopy and biopsy.
Results: A total of 155 patients with 166 lesions underwent UEMR. One patient with a non-neoplastic lesion in the resected specimen and 10 patients with 10 lesions who were lost to follow-up were excluded. Finally, 144 patients with 155 lesions who received all follow-up endoscopies were analyzed for the primary endpoint. The proportion of patients with proven nonrecurrence was 97.2% (n = 140 of 144; 95% confidence interval, 92.8%-99.1%) which exceeded the predefined threshold value (92%). Two cases of delayed bleeding (1.2%) occurred and they were successfully managed by clips. All recurrences were successfully treated by additional endoscopic treatment.
Conclusions: This multicenter, prospective cohort study demonstrated effectiveness and safety of UEMR for nonampullary duodenal adenomas ≤20 mm in size. (University Hospital Medical Network Clinical Trials Registry, Number: UMIN000030414).

Background: Endoscopic resection (ER) of non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs) is associated with a high incidence of delayed bleeding (DB). While previous reports have identified composite risk factors for delayed adverse events, including both DB and delayed perforation, the specific factors associated with DB remain unclear. This study aimed to identify factors associated with DB after ER of NADETs.

Background And Aim: Optical diagnosis of superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors using white-light imaging (WLI) and/or narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy (NBI-ME) is used to guide the treatment strategy and avoid biopsy-induced fibrosis. However, the effectiveness of this approach has not been elucidated. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to investigate the diagnostic yield between Vienna classification category 3 (VCL C3) and categories 4 or 5 (VCL C4/C5) using biopsy, WLI, NBI-ME, and WLI + NBI-ME.

Early-stage, poorly differentiated, non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinomas are rare, and their clinicopathological features remain unelucidated. Between September 2006 and April 2022, 205 consecutive patients underwent endoscopic or surgical resection for early-stage non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinomas at our hospital. There were no cases of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma among the 188 cases of mucosal carcinoma.

Description: Nonampullary duodenal polyps are found in up to 5% of all upper endoscopies; the vast majority are identified incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Although most are benign, adenomas are estimated to account for 10%-20% of these lesions. Most international guidelines recommend that all duodenal adenomas should be considered for endoscopic resection; this may be associated with a near 15% adverse event rate (predominantly bleeding and perforation) in prospective studies, with substantial local recurrence on surveillance.

Background And Aims: Local recurrence is a significant concern in endoscopic resection of superficial nonampullary duodenal tumors (SNADTs). Our objective was to elucidate the clinical outcomes of salvage endoscopic treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic resection of SNADTs between January 2013 and December 2021.
