Aim. To analyze the results of one and two-step endoscopic submucosal dissection in the treatment of colorectal neoplasms. Methods. Between 2018 and 2019, 17 patients (6 men and 11 women) aged 33 to 79 years underwent 21 endoscopic submucosal dissections of colorectal neoplasms ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 cm. Submucosal fibrosis was identified in 2 (11.8%) patients, epithelial neoplasms in 15 (88.2%) patients including laterally spreading tumors in 9 (60%), and large sessile colorectal polyps in 6 (40%) patients. Histological examination revealed a carcinoid tumor (11.8%), adenoma with low-grade (64.7%) and high-grade (23.5%) intraepithelial neoplasia. 13 patients were subjected to the one-step operation, and 4 patients required the two-step operation with a 1-day interval. Follow-up examinations after the operation were performed, on average, between 2 and 6 months. Results. En bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed in 11 (64.7%) patients, 4 of them in combination with mucosal resection. Endoscopic piecemeal resection of the neoplasia was performed in 6 (35.3%) patients. The average operative time was 15573 minutes (range 40320 min). Intraoperative complications, which were eliminated endoscopically, occurred during 8 (38.1%) of 21 operations: intensive bleeding in 6 (75%) patients, diastasis of muscle fibers in 1 (12.5%) patient, perforation of the intestinal wall in 1 (12.5%) patient. At the follow-up at 6 months, all patients formed the scar at the surgical area, while 3 patients required endoscopic removal of residual adenoma 2 months after the operation. Conclusion. Endoscopic submucosal dissection is an effective method for removing colorectal neoplasms, while two-step dissection is a promising approach to the development of the technique.Keywords: one and two-step dissection, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), colorectal neoplasms.

Objectives. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early colorectal neoplasms is regarded as a difficult technique and should commence after receiving the experiences of ESD in the stomach. The implementation of colorectal ESD in countries where early gastric cancer is uncommon might therefore be difficult. The aim is to delineate the feasibility and the learning curve of colorectal ESD performed by a colonoscopist with limited experience of gastric ESD.Methods. The first fifty cases of colorectal ESD, which were performed by a single colonoscopist between July 2010 and April 2013, were enrolled.Results. The mean of age was 64 (±9.204) years with mean size of neoplasm at 33 (±12.63) mm. The mean of procedure time was 70.5 (±48.9) min. The rates ofen blocresection, R0 resection, and curative resection were 86%, 86%, and 82%, respectively. Three patients had immediate perforation, but no patient developed delayed perforation or delayed bleeding.Conclusion. Our result disclosed that it is feasible for colorectal ESD to be performed by a colonoscopist with little experience of gastric ESD through satisfactory training and adequate case selection.

Abstract Background Although submucosal dissection is useful for treating laterally spreading colorectal tumors, there is little information regarding the endoscopic treatment of large protruding colorectal neoplasms. Here, we aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for protruding colorectal neoplasms ≥ 20 mm in diameter. Methods In total, 112 consecutive patients undergoing treatment between January 2005 and June 2017 were enrolled retrospectively. The study period was divided into six periods to evaluate any changes in outcomes over time. We reviewed all short-term clinical outcomes, including lesion characteristics, procedure time, and percentages of en bloc resection, curative resection, adverse events, and treatment discontinuation. Results The percentages of en bloc, en bloc R0, and en bloc curative resections were 88 %, 82 %, and 59 %, respectively. Perforation occurred in 11 patients (10 %), and the endoscopic procedure was discontinued in five patients (4 %) because of technical difficulty. For lesions ≥ 40 mm in diameter, the procedure time showed a statistically significant decreasing trend in the latter half of the study period. However, the rate of cure did not improve along with enhancements to the procedure’s technological aspects. Conclusions Although endoscopic submucosal dissection for large protruding lesions has advanced in terms of its technical aspects, its ability to cure large protruding neoplasms has not shown gratifying results.

Abstract Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal neoplasms remains challenging because of technical issues imposed by the complex anatomical features of the large intestine. We evaluated the feasibility, and the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of ESD for early colorectal neoplasms performed using the Stag-beetle Knife Jr. (SB Knife Jr.) Patients and methods We retrospectively assessed 228 patients who underwent ESD for 247 colorectal lesions with the SB Knife Jr. Clinicopathological characteristics of the neoplasms, complications, and various short- and long-term outcomes were evaluated. Results Mean tumor size was 34.3 mm and median procedure time was 76 minutes. The SB Knife Jr. achieved 98.4 % en bloc resection, 93.9 % complete resection, and 85.4 % curative resection. No perforations occurred during the procedure, and a delayed bleeding rate of 2.4 % was observed. Long-term outcomes were favorable with no distant recurrence, 1.1 % local recurrence, a 5-year overall survival rate of 94.1 % and 5-year tumor-specific survival rate of 98.6 % in patients with cancer. Conclusions ESD using the SB Knife Jr. is technically efficient and safe in treating early colorectal neoplasms and is associated with favorable short- and long-term outcomes.

Abstract Background Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technically demanding but effective treatment for superficial neoplasms. We conducted a study to compare the effectiveness and safety of inner traction facilitated ESD using rubber band and clip (RAC-ESD) with conventional ESD.Methods We retrospectively evaluated 622 consecutive patients underwent colorectal ESD between January 2016 and December 2019. To overcome selection bias, we used propensity score matching (1:4) between RAC-ESD and conventional ESD. The frequency of en bloc resections, R0 resections, curative resections, procedure speed and complications were evaluated.Results After propensity score matching, 35 patients were included in RAC-ESD group and 140 were included in conventional ESD group. RAC-ESD resulted in a significant increase in resection speed (0.14 vs. 0.09 cm2/min; P=0.003). There were no significant differences in en bloc, R0 and curative resection rates between two groups. In subgroup analysis, the resection speed of RAC-ESD was significantly higher than conventional ESD when the lesions were equal to or larger than 2cm, macroscopically presenting as lateral spreading tumor, and located in transverse colon to ascending colon.Conclusions RAC-ESD is safe and effective in treating colorectal neoplasms, especially in lesions presenting particular difficulty.

Abstract Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been accepted as a standard treatment for early gastric cardiac cancer (EGCC). Here, we investigate the clinical outcomes of the EGCC patients who underwent ESD in different indications. Methods From January 2011 to October 2019, we enrolled 502 EGCC lesions from 495 patients which were resected by ESD at our center. We retrospectively analyzed the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes among different indication groups. Results The number of the patients in the absolute indication (AI), expanded indication (EI) and beyond the expanded indication (BEI) groups was 265, 137 and 93, respectively. The en bloc resection rate was 100%, 100% and 98.9% (P = 0.185). The complete resection rate was 99.3%, 98.5% and 74.5%, respectively (P < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 48.1 months, the lymph node metastasis rate was 0%, 0% and 2.3% (P < 0.001). The distant metastasis rate was 0.4%, 0% and 2.3% (P = 0.150). The five-year disease-specific survival rate in the BEI group was 96.6% (P = 0.016), compared to 99.6% in the AI group and 100% in the EI group. Conclusion The efficacy for ESD patients in EI group was almost equal to the AI group. Patients in the BEI group showed generally favorable clinical outcomes and needed to be carefully checked after ESD. ESD may be an optional treatment for patients unsuitable for gastrectomy.

Abstract Background Colectomy has been recommended for patients presenting ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated dysplasia because of the risk of metachronous recurrence. However, it has been recently proposed that endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of dysplasia, combined with subsequent surveillance, may contribute to avoiding colectomy. This study assessed clinical implications of ESD in UC-associated dysplasia. Methods We investigated 30 lesions (27 patients) of UC-associated dysplasia/cancer treated with ESD and surgery (15 ESD and 16 surgery) including a patient who underwent surgery following ESD. Among them, paraffin-embedded tissues of 15 lesions (6 cancers, 7 high-grade dysplasia: HGDs, 2 low-grade dysplasia: LGDs) and 11 surrounding mucosae were available and gene mutation analysis was performed. Indications for ESD were determined according to the criteria applied for sporadic colorectal neoplasms that are based on magnifying endoscopy. Results The median follow-up duration was 40 months. Three out of 27 patients (11%) developed metastasis. Although no serious complications, local recurrence, or metastasis occurred in 13 patients undergoing ESD, one out of them (7.7%) had metachronous colorectal cancer 3 years after ESD in the rectum, where TP53 mutation and diffuse p53 staining was found at non-dysplastic mucosae. Based on magnifying endoscopy, we underestimated the invasion depth in two cases: in a case of deeply submucosal invasive mucinous cancer, endoscopic ultrasonography exhibited thickening of the submucosal layer exclusively at the lesion. Conclusion The proposed indication for ESD in UC-associated dysplasia is that a lesion is well-demarcated and surrounding mucosa is not actively inflamed and does not exhibit diffuse p53 staining. ESD would contribute to advances in the management of UC-associated dysplasia.

AbstractAnal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) is a precursor of anal carcinoma. Conventional therapy is based on topical and local ablative approaches. However, the recurrence rates are very high, leading to repetitive treatment sessions and need for long-term surveillance. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an established treatment for malignant early neoplasias of the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the esophagus, stomach, and colorectum. Japanese centers have reported few cases of ESD for early anal carcinoma. We report a case of high-grade AIN diagnosed with magnifying narrow-band imaging and chromoendoscopy that was resected R0 with ESD en bloc.

Objective This study was performed to compare the differences between preoperative endoscopic biopsy (PEB) and postoperative pathological examination (PPE) for diagnosis of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN). Methods From September 2016 to July 2019, 188 consecutive patients with GIN at Yuyao People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The 188 patients had 218 GIN lesions. All patients underwent PEB and either endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgical treatment. PPE was performed on pathological tissues that had been surgically removed. Results Among 138 cases of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) diagnosed by PEB, 46 were upgraded to high-grade dysplasia (HGD), 20 were upgraded to early gastric cancer (EGC), and 2 were downgraded to inflammation after PPE. Among 42 cases of HGD, 23 were upgraded to EGC, 2 were downgraded to LGD, and 2 were downgraded to inflammation after PPE. Among 38 cases of EGC, 1 was downgraded to HGD and 2 were downgraded to LGD after PPE. The original diagnosis was maintained after the operation in 120 cases of GIN. Conclusion Biopsy did not fully reflect the lesions of GIN. Biopsy review should be actively performed, and the lesions should be clarified by endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery.
