Project description:BACKGROUNDThe incidence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is rapidly increasing because of the frequent use of endoscopic screening for colorectal cancers. However, the clinical outcomes of endoscopic resection for rectal NETs are still unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the rates of histologically complete resection (H-CR) and recurrence after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for rectal NETs.METHODSA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent EMR for rectal NETs between January 2002 and March 2015 at Seoul National University Hospital. Primary outcomes were H-CR and recurrence rates after endoscopic resection. H-CR was defined as the absence of tumor invasion in the lateral and deep margins of resected specimens.RESULTSAmong 277 patients, 243 (88%) were treated with conventional EMR, 23 (8%) with EMR using a dual-channel endoscope, and 11 (4%) with EMR after precutting. The median tumor size was 4.96 mm (range, 1-22) in diameter, and 264 (95%) lesions were confined to the mucosa and submucosal layer. The en-bloc resection rate was 99% and all patients achieved endoscopically complete resection. The H-CR rates were 75, 74, and 73% for conventional EMR, EMR using a dual-channel endoscope, and EMR after precutting, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that H-CR was associated with tumor size regardless of endoscopic treatment modalities (p?=?0.023). Of the 277 patients, 183 (66%) underwent at least 1 endoscopic follow-up. Three (2%) of these 183 patients had tumor recurrence, which was diagnosed at a median of 62.5 months (range 19-98) after endoscopic resection. There was 1 case of disease-related death, which occurred 167 months after endoscopic treatment because of bone marrow failure that resulted from tumor metastasis.CONCLUSIONSAlthough the en-bloc resection rate was 99% in rectal NETs, H-CR rates were 72-74% for various EMR procedures. H-CR may be associated with tumor size regardless of endoscopic treatment modalities.

Project description:A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital for treatment of duodenal tumor. The most difficult part was that the lesion was adjacent to duodenal diverticulum. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was difficult because submucosal injection spread broadly and quickly and makes it difficult to visualize the diverticulum edge of the lesion. Simple underwater EMR (UEMR) had risk for perforation at the diverticulum part because duodenal diverticulum is spurious diverticulum that defects the proper muscle layer. Therefore, to make sufficient distance between diverticulum and the lesion, we performed partial submucosal injection into only the diverticulum side of the lesion combined with simple UEMR. The lesion was resected en bloc without any adverse events. Histopathological diagnosis was tubular adenoma with moderate atypia and surgical margin negative. Partial submucosal injection combined with simple UEMR might be useful for duodenal tumor that has any technical difficulties as in this case.

Project description:RationaleEndoscopic resection of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial neoplasm (SNADEN) is a challenging procedure owing to the high recurrence rate and considerable incidence rate of adverse events.Patient concernsSNADEN accidentally found during a medical examination in a 56-year-old man.DiagnosisThe patient was diagnosed as having a 20-mm-sized flat elevated SNADEN at the superior duodenal angle.InterventionsFirst, we tried to perform conventional EMR (CEMR). However, the submucosal injection interrupted the endoscopic view and did not provide enough space for CEMR because of its angulated location. Therefore, we chose to perform endoscopic resection using the "loop-and-let-go" technique. Follow-up duodenoscopy after 2 days revealed post CEMR ulcer with suspicious remnant lesion. Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) was successfully performed 3 months after the first session of endoscopic resection.OutcomesComplete endoscopic en bloc resection and histological complete resection were achieved with UEMR. Follow-up duodenoscopy revealed no recurrence.LessonsStep-by-step endoscopic treatment with UEMR following loop-and-let-go technique may be a good strategy for SNADEN over 20-mm in diameter.

Project description:Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) using the introducer technique is not only useful in patients with upper digestive tract stenosis but has been shown to reduce peristomal infection. In this study, we evaluated the safety and utility of a novel large-caliber introducer PEG kit (using 20 Fr size tube) compared with a push kit of similar size.One hundred and thirty-six patients who received PEG at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline characteristics, laboratory biomarkers, hemodynamic changes, postoperative adverse events and clinical outcomes with both kits were compared.The new introducer PEG kit was used in 61 patients while the remaining 75 patients received tube placement using a push technique PEG kit. Except for the prevalence of dementia, which was lower in the introducer PEG kit group, baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. Tube placements were 100 % successful with both PEG kits and there were no significant differences in the change of postoperative hemodynamic or laboratory biomarkers. The Introducer PEG kit group experienced fewer incidence of feeding-related aspiration pneumonia (8.2 % vs. 24 %, P = 0.02), lower peristomal infection scores (1.2 vs. 1.6, P < 0.01), shorter postoperative length of stay (16 days vs. 23.7 days, P = 0.01) and fewer deaths at day 60 (3.3 % vs. 16 %, P = 0.02).Gastrostomy using the new large-caliber introducer PEG kit is safe and produced non-inferior (with some favourable) results when compared to the push technique using similar size tubes.

Project description:Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed to facilitate en bloc resection of large lesions. However, it is laborious to retrieve the large colorectal specimens. We propose a novel retrieval technique using a Valsalva maneuver, known as Tumor Extraction by Defecation (TED).A total of nine lesions (median size 88 mm, maximum 225 mm; proximal colon three, rectum six) that could not be easily retrieved using net forceps were subsequently removed by TED. The rectum was filled with water through the colonoscope. The patient then strained to evacuate the specimen, facilitated by an almost straight anorectal angle. All specimens were retrieved without fragmentation, within minutes. Histology was assessed appropriately, including an adenoma in two and mucosal cancer in seven. All cut margins were verified to be negative. No adverse events occurred.TED is a promising technique for retrieving large colorectal specimens after ESD.

Project description:Background and aimsUnderwater endoscopic resection can be an alternative to standard resection techniques to remove difficult colorectal polyps. This video shows 4 cases of underwater resection of large colorectal polyps.MethodsUnderwater resection consists of complete filling of the lumen through the accessory channel, using an infusion pump followed by snare resection of the polyp. We present 4 cases: a 3-cm pseudodepressed laterally spreading tumor (LST) in the sigmoid colon, a 6-cm pedunculated polyp with a thick stalk in the sigmoid, a 7-cm sessile lesion in the midrectum, and a 4-cm LST in the distal rectum close to the dentate line, resected with a monofilament snare or a multifilament snare.ResultsAll tumors were successfully resected without any adverse events or residual lesions during follow-up.ConclusionsThe underwater technique is a good alternative to standard resection techniques to remove difficult colorectal lesions.

Project description:Laparoscopic surgery has become the standard treatment for colorectal cancer. A tumor that does not involve serosa is invisible intraoperatively, and manual palpation of the tumor during laparoscopy is not possible. Therefore, accurate localization of the neoplastic infiltrate remains one of the most important tasks prior to elective laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of a magnetic endoscopic imaging (MEI) for precise preoperative endoscopic localization of neoplastic infiltrate within the large bowel.The study enrolled 246 patients who underwent elective surgery for colorectal cancer in 2012-2015 with accurate preoperative colonoscopic localization of the tumor. The analysis concerned patients with neoplastic infiltrate localized more than 30 cm from the anal verge. For evaluative purposes and accuracy of localization, the intestine was divided anatomically into 13 parts. Colonoscopic examinations were conducted with two types of endoscopes: group I-with MEI and group II-without MEI. Patients were assigned to the groups by random allocation. Ultimate confirmation of the tumor localization was accomplished by intraoperative evaluation.Group I involved 127 patients and group II 129. The two groups were compared in terms of age, sex, BMI and frequency of previous abdominal procedures. Proper localization of the lesion was confirmed in 95.23 % of group I patients and in 83.19 % of group II patients (p < 0.05). The greatest discrepancy in localization occurred in 8.9 % of patients from group I and 20 % of patients from group II in which the lesion was assessed primarily in the distal sigmoid.A magnetic endoscopic imaging allows more accurate localization of neoplastic infiltrate within the large intestine compared to standard colonoscopy alone, especially within the sigmoid colon. This method can be particularly useful in planning and performing laparoscopic procedures to diminish the likelihood of improper bowel segment resection. CLINICALTRIALS.NCT01688557.
