Management Of Complications

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is considered superior to endoscopic mucosal resection as an endoscopic resection because of its higher en bloc resection rate, but it is more difficult to perform. As ESD techniques have become more common, and the range of treatment by ESD has expanded, the number of possible complications has also increased, and endoscopists need to manage them. In this report, we will review the management of critical complications, such as hemorrhage, perforation, and stenosis, and we will also discuss educational methods for acquiring and improving ESD skills.

Risk Of Malignancy

Aims. To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, assessment of risk of malignancy, and recent advances in management (mainly focusing on the role of endoscopic resection) of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in upper GI.Method. We searched Embase, Web of science, and PubMed databases from 1993 to 2018 by using the following keywords: “gastrointestinal stromal tumors,” “GIST,” “treatment,” and “diagnosis.” Additional papers were searched manually from references of the related articles.Findings. The improvement of endoscopic techniques in treating upper gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors especially gastrointestinal tumors has reduced the need for invasive surgery in patients unfit for surgery. Many studies have concluded that modified endoscopic treatments are effective and safe. These treatments permit minimal tissue resection, better dissection control, and high rates of en bloc resection with an acceptable rate of complications.

AbstractIntroduction:This paper evaluates the feasibility of transoral, endoscopic resection of macroscopically localised, low grade, subglottic chondrosarcoma.Method:Retrospective case study including patients diagnosed with low grade, subglottic laryngeal chondrosarcoma. Tumours were resected endoscopically via direct laryngoscopy with microlaryngeal technique, under jet ventilation. The post-operative course, vocal fold function, airway patency and oncological results were evaluated.Results:Two male patients aged 49 and 60 years underwent endoscopic, translaryngeal, en bloc resection of low grade chondrosarcoma of the cricoid cartilage. Extubation was performed immediately after surgery. Neither patient required tracheostomy or developed subglottic stenosis. No tumour recurrence was noted after an average follow up of 10.5 months. Voice quality was stable and dyspnoea improved.Summary:Transoral, endoscopic resection of low grade, subglottic chondrosarcoma is a viable technique with good functional outcomes. Extensive resection of subglottic disease is possible, which may afford patients an alternative to total laryngectomy.

Long Term Follow Up

1 Background: With the progress in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) which enables en bloc resection irrespective of the size of lesion, a therapeutic strategy has become feasible whereby ESD is undertaken first, followed by considering additional treatment based on the results of histologic exploration. In this study, we attempted to clarify the clinical results in patients who had undergone additional treatment after endoscopic resection (ER) for cN0 superficial carcinoma. Methods: Of 140 patients diagnosed as having T1a-MM-SM2 lesions of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus who had undergone ER between January 1998 and March 2010, 83 patients who received additional treatment after ER (surgery, 27 pts; chemoradiotherapy [CRT], 56 pts.) were the subjects of this study. The mean duration of observation was 45.1 months. Results: The en bloc resection rate was 86%. There were 5 patients (6%) who had complications associated with ER, including perforation in 2 patients, secondary hemorrhage in a patient and pneumonia in 2 patients. Complications associated with additional treatment were noted in 13 patients (15.6%), including secondary hemorrhage, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and pulmonary infarction in one patient each, pneumonia in 3, grade ≥ 3 myelosuppression in 5, and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and radiation pneumonitis in one patient each. Long-term follow-up revealed no local recurrence and no patients who experienced late toxicity due to CRT. The tumor recurred in 4 patients, the site of recurrent lesion being the mediastinum in 3 patients and the cervical lymph node in one patient, of whom 2 patients died of the primary disease. The 5-year survival rate was 88.4%. Conclusions: Endoscopic resection plus additional treatment for superficial carcinoma of the esophagus did not entail the development of any serious complications; thus, such combined treatment was safe and feasible. The long-term follow-up results were fairly gratifying, and ER with subsequent additional treatment is considered to be valid for patients with cN0 superficial carcinoma of the esophagus.

Abstract Background and study aims Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract. Up to the present time, complete surgical excision has been the standard treatment for primary GISTs greater than 2 cm. It is well known that tumor rupture during surgery is an independent risk factor for peritoneal metastasis; however, it is not known whether the risk of peritoneal metastasis increases in cases where the tumor is ruptured during endoscopic resection. Patients and methods A total of 195 patients treated for GIST between January 2014 and December 2016 in our hospital were enrolled in this study. They were divided into two groups according to whether the tumor was ruptured during endoscopic resection. The rate of peritoneal metastasis in patients in the two groups who also suffered perforation was investigated from the follow-up results. Results Approximately 55.4 % of all patients were female and the average age of the study group was 59.0 ± 10.3 years. Of the 195 patients, the tumors in 27 were ruptured and the remaining 168 patients underwent en bloc resection. There was no statistically significant difference in gender or age between the two groups. The median tumor size (maximum diameter) in all patients was 1.5 cm (0.3 – 5.0 cm): 2.5 cm (0.8 – 5.0 cm) and 1.4 cm (0.3 – 4.0 cm) in the tumor rupture group and en bloc resection group, respectively (P < 0.001). Most of the tumors were located in the gastric fundus. At a median follow-up of 18.7 ± 10.2 months, neither tumor recurrence (liver metastasis, peritoneal metastasis, local recurrence) nor mortality related to GISTs were detected. Conclusions Tumor rupture during endoscopic resection of gastric GISTs may not be a risk factor for peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract Background Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare esophageal carcinoma. And the characteristics especially in early stage is unknown. Methods The aim of this study is to clarify the characteristics of superficial BSCC. Thirteen patients (9 males and 4 females) with BSCC treated by endoscopic resection (12 ESD and 1 EMRC) from January 2000 to March 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. The median age was 67 (57–83). The median follow-up period was 24 (12–115) months. T1a-EP/LPM and T1a-MM/T1b-SM1 without lymph duct invasion (LDI) was followed up. T1a-MM/T1b-SM1 with LDI or T1b-SM2 were treated by additional treatment (AT). Results 1. En-bloc resection and R0 resection rate was 100% and 100%, respectively. 2. Macroscopic type; 0-IIa, 0-IIb and 0-IIc was 4, 1 and 8, respectively. 3. The median tumor diameter was 27 (2–62) mm. 4. Invasion depth; T1a-LPM, T1a-MM/T1b-SM1, and T1b-SM2 was 3, 5 and 5, respectively. 5. Histological characteristics; All BSCC were covered by SCC or non-neoplastic squamous epithelium. 6. Endoscopic characteristics; SMT like appearance was found in 46% (6/13). Yellowish nodules were observed in 23% (3/13). This finding was observed, when BSCC exist superficial epithelial layer covered by thin non-neoplastic epithelium. 7. Prognosis A: T1a-LPM (N = 3). Two patients are alive without recurrence, and 1 patient died of other disease. B: T1a-MM/SM1 (N = 5). Two of 3 patients without LDI were followed up and alive. Remaining one patient wanted to be treated by CRT, and alive. Two patients had LVI, however they were followed up without AT because of patient's hope. One is alive, and another died of other disease. C: T1b-SM2 (N = 5). Two and one patients were treated by surgery and chemotherapy, respectively, and alive without recurrence. Remaining two patients were followed up without AT. One of 2 patients are alive without recurrence. Another patient dead of other disease. Conclusion 1. All of BSCC were covered by SCC or non-neoplastic epithelium. 2. SMT like appearance and yellowish nodules under squamous cell epithelium were the characteristic endoscopic findings. 3. 40% of T1aMM/T1bSM1 had LDI. It's higher than that of SCC. Therefore, En-bloc resection is necessary for the detailed histological examination. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Background and study aims Recent innovations in devices and techniques have revolutionized the field of endoscopic resection procedures. In this study, we evaluated the safety and feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection and tunneling procedures with a novel, multipurpose bipolar device. Patients and methods Data from consecutive patients who underwent per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a novel bipolar device (December 2019 to February 2020) were analyzed retrospectively. Procedure duration, technical success, and adverse events (AEs) were recorded. Results A total of 10 procedures were performed using the novel bipolar device during the study period. The procedures included POEM (n = 7), STER for esophageal sub-epithelial tumor (n = 1), ESD for rectal polyp (n = 1), and gastric neuroendocrine tumor (n = 1). POEM was successfully completed in all patients. In patients who underwent STER and ESD, en-bloc resection was achieved in all. Mean procedure time for submucosal tunneling procedures (POEM and STER) was 59.12 ± 31.12 minutes. The procedures were completed without the requirement for exchange of accessories in eight cases (80 %). There were no major AEs. Mild and moderate AEs occurred during POEM and included capno-peritoneum (n = 1), retroperitoneal CO2 (n = 1), and empyema (n = 1). Conclusion ESD and tunneling procedures can be safely performed without the need for exchange of accessories using a novel bipolar device. Randomized comparison with conventional knives isrequired to confirm the utility of this device.

Background and Aims: The use of endoscopic treatment for early colorectal cancer (ECC) is increasing. The European guidelines suggest performing piecemeal endoscopic resection (pmR) for benign lesions and en bloc resection for ECC, especially for patients with favorable lymph node involvement risk evaluations. However, en bloc resections for lesions larger than two centimeters require invasive endoscopic techniques. Our retrospective single-center study aimed to determine the clinical impact of performing pmR for ECC rather than traditional en bloc resection. Methods: A single-center study was performed between January 2012 and September 2017. All ECC patients were included. The main objective was to evaluate the number of patients who potentially underwent unnecessary surgery due to piecemeal resection. The secondary endpoints were as follows: disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from pmR to endoscopic failure (local recurrence not treatable by endoscopy), complication rate, number of patients who did not undergo surgery by default, and factors predictive of outcomes and complications. Results: One hundred and forty-six ECC endoscopically treated patients were included. In total, 85 patients were excluded (71 who underwent en bloc resection, 14 with pending follow-up). Data from 61 patients (33 women and 28 men) were analyzed. Two patients underwent potentially unnecessary surgery [3.28% (0.9%- 11.2%)]. The DFS rate was 87% (75%-93%) at 6 months and 85% [72%-92%] at 12 months. The median follow- up time was 16.5 months (12.4-20.9). Three patients (4.9%) had complications. One patient did not undergo surgery by default. A Paris classification of 0-2c (HR=9.3 (2.4-35.9), p<0.001) and Vienna classification of 5 [HR=16.3 (3.3-80.4), p<0.001] were factors associated with poor DFS. Conclusion: Performing pmR in place of en bloc resection for ECC had a limited impact on patients. If the pathology (especially deep margins) is analyzable, careful monitoring could be acceptable in ECC patients who undergo pmR.
