Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate whether second‑look endoscopy (SLE) is able to prevent delayed bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastric carcinoma and to identify which types of lesion require SLE. ESD of gastric cancer at the early stage was performed on 210 patients between October 2014 and September 2016. Mucosal damage‑associated bleeding within 24 h after ESD was considered as delayed bleeding. The association of the characteristics of patients and lesions, as well as surgical factors, with the incidence of bleeding as a measure of outcome was analyzed. A total of 110 patients with melena and/or hematemesis underwent SLE on the second day following gastric ESD. Within the entire cohort (n=210), late delayed bleeding (LDB) was defined as hematemesis or melena occurring following second‑look endoscopy. Early delayed bleeding (EDB) was defined as hematemesis or melena occurring from the end of ESD to second‑look endoscopy, or as active or possible bleeding at the time of the second‑look endoscopy was reported in 17 (8.1%) and 20 patients(9.5%), respectively. The median interval between late delayed bleeding and ESD was one day (range, 1‑10 days). The incidence of late delayed bleeding was significantly decreased in the SLE group compared with that in the non‑SLE group (4.5 vs. 12%, P=0.028). Multivariate analyses revealed that ulcer, flat gross type, lesion diameter (>2 cm), the resected tumor size of >40 mm and Helicobacter pylori infection were independently associated with late delayed bleeding after ESD, while flat gross type, ulcer, the resected tumor size of >40 mm and artificial ulcer diameter >3 cm were independently associated with early delayed bleeding. Thus, the data of the present study indicates that second‑look endoscopy following gastric ESD may be useful in preventing post‑ESD delayed bleeding and should be performed on the second day.
