Clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for residual neoplasia after incomplete resection of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps: a large multicenter propensity match study (with video)
Abstract
Background and aims: Data on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for residual neoplasia after incomplete endoscopic resection (ER) of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) remain scarce. We aimed to evaluate and compare outcomes of ESD in patients with treatment-naïve (control) lesions versus those with previous failed ER.
Methods: This was a multicenter propensity-score (PS) match study of ESDs performed for LNPCPs between January 2021 and September 2024. The following covariates were used for PS calculation: age, sex, and lesion characteristics (size, location, morphology, histology). End points included rates of en-bloc and R0 resection, adverse events, and neoplasia recurrence on surveillance.
Results: A total of 1447 consecutive patients underwent ESD during the study period. PS match resulted in the selection of 361 (control) and 184 (previous failed ER) strictly matched 2:1 pairs. En-bloc and R0 resection rates were similar between the control and previous failed ER arms: 91.7% versus 89.7%; P = .44 and 80.9% versus 81.0%; P = .98, respectively. There was no difference in the rate of perforation between the control and previous failed ER arms (4.7% vs 4.4%; P = 1.00), whereas there was a nonstatistically significant trend toward greater delayed bleeding in the previous failed ER group (1.63% vs 0.83%, relative risk: 1.96; P = .40). Neoplasia recurrence on surveillance was 3.6% in the control and 5.8% in the previous failed ER group (P = .32).
Conclusions: ESD can be performed safely and effectively as a salvage therapy after failed attempt at ER of LNPCPs. ESD may be selectively considered as part of our endoscopic armamentarium for the management of these difficult-to-treat lesions. Our findings reinforce current guideline recommendations that endorse the use of ESD for managing residual neoplasia following an incomplete ER.
