Article Synopsis
- ESMR-L and ESD are both endoscopic methods used to remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) less than 10 mm, but it's unclear which one is more effective.
- In a study involving 205 patients, both methods demonstrated similar high complete resection rates (around 90%), but ESMR-L had a significantly shorter procedure time (17 minutes vs. 52 minutes) and hospital stay (3 days vs. 5 days).
- ESMR-L is recommended as the more efficient treatment for small rectal NETs, particularly when performed by less-experienced endoscopists.
