Abstract
Background and aims: The most appropriate endoscopic resection procedure for small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of endoscopic submucosal resection using a ligation band (ESMR-L) without submucosal injection compared to ESMR-L with submucosal injection.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included rectal NETs (≤10 mm) treated with ESMR-L between March 2017 and July 2024. The primary endpoint was sufficient vertical R0 (SVR0) resection, defined as R0 resection with tumor-free vertical margin ≥500 μm.
Results: Of 102 rectal NETs treated with ESMR-L, 71 were resected with injection and 31 without injection. Tumor-free vertical margin distance was significantly greater in ESMR-L without injection (1070 vs. 430 μm, P < 0.001). ESMR-L without injection achieved a significantly higher SVR0 resection rate (67.7% vs. 40.8%, P = 0.018) without an increase in adverse events.
Conclusions: ESMR-L without injection can be simpler and more effective for small rectal NETs than ESMR-L with injection.
背景和目的:直肠小神经内分泌肿瘤(NETs)最合适的内镜切除手术尚不清楚。我们的目的是评估不进行粘膜下注射的结扎带内镜下粘膜下切除术(ESMR-L)与进行粘膜下注射的ESMR-L的有效性。方法:这项单中心回顾性研究包括2017年3月至2024年7月期间接受ESMR-L治疗的直肠NETs(≤10 mm)。主要终点为足够的垂直R0 (SVR0)切除,定义为R0切除无肿瘤垂直切缘≥500 μm。结果:ESMR-L治疗102例直肠NETs, 71例经注射切除,31例不经注射切除。未注射ESMR-L的无肿瘤垂直切缘距离显著增加(1070 μm vs 430 μm, P < 0.001)。未注射ESMR-L的SVR0切除率明显更高(67.7% vs. 40.8%, P = 0.018),且不良事件未增加。结论:不注射ESMR-L治疗直肠小NETs比注射ESMR-L更简单、更有效。
