Aims:

To obtain information on implementation of ESD in particpating centres of ten experimental ESD Training Workshops in Salzburg [Dig Endosc 2011;23:282 – 89].

Methods:

ESD WORKSHOPs lasted 3.3 days under instruction by international experts, 177 trainees from 135 referral centers had participated once or twice. A brief questionaire was mailed to participants of all 135 centres and reported data (n, %) analyzed.

Results:

Completed data from 77 of 135 centers (57%), information on zero ESD from 32 (24%), no information from 26 (19%). ESD had been implemented without supervision by expert during initial learning. Nineteen (17%) of 109 centres had performed > 150 ESD (professional level), 27 (25%) had 31 – 150 ESD (competent level), and 32 (29%) each had ≤30 ESD (initial learning) and zero ESD, resp.. Outcome (% as median, range) of centres on initial learning (n = 425 ESD) is compared to centers with > 30 ESD (n = 5439): ESD en-bloc was 75 [40 – 80]% vs. 85 [49 – 100]%, conversion to hybrid-ESD 20 [0 – 100]% vs. 11 [0 – 51]% and to piecemeal-EMR 5 [0 – 45]% vs. 4 [0 – 15]%. Majority (65 – 70%) of ESD were in colorectum (35% malignant lesions) with low risk and satisfactory oncological outcome – even during initial learning (s. table). Overall, 30 day morbidity was 0.6 ± 2.2% (stenoses), and mortality 0.04% (2 cases).

Conclusions:

ESD has been implemented at least in 46 centres across Europe on competent or professional level, with low risk during unsupervised learning. The majority (65 – 70%) are colorectal ESD, even during initial learning.
