Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is not a common treatment for colorectal neoplasms because of its technical difficulties and has a higher incidence of complication. In particular, perforation is one of the severe complications and these patients require surgical intervention. However, whether prophylactic closure after colorectal ESD prevents perforation and other complications is not known. In the present study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of prophylactic closure for a large mucosal defect after colorectal ESD using a conventional clip and over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system. From April 2010 to December 2012, 68 patients with colorectal tumors were treated with ESD. The prohylactic closure was indicated for patients with excessive coagulation in the muscularis propria or larger resection size. The closure group reduced the peritoneal inflammatory reaction and abdominal symptoms without increasing complications. The closure group also had a significantly lower WBC count (post operative day 1), CRP (post operative day 4) and abdominal pain after colorectal ESD compared to the non-closure group. Perforation occurred in 1 case, and postoperative bleeding in 2 cases, with only 1 bleeding case needing an emergency endoscopy in the non-closure group. One perforation case needed emergency surgery because the endoscopic treatment was ineffective. Without increasing adverse effects, the prophylactic closure efficiently reduced the inflammatory reaction and abdominal symptoms of colorectal ESD in patients with large superficial colorectal neoplasms.
