Aims To describe the prevalence of IP and DP and compare the consequences of both events.
Endoscopic perforation continues to be the most concerning complication associated with Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (CR-ESD). There are two main types: intraprocedural perforation (IP), diagnosed along or just after CR-ESD; delayed perforation (DP), presenting 8-72 hours after the CR-ESD.
Methods Data were based on a prospective registry of all the CR-ESD procedures performed by the same endoscopist (AH) or under his close supervision in three hospitals in Madrid. The first 50 cases were excluded to discard the effect of the learning curve.
Results Between January 2012 and July 2019, 277 CR-ESD cases were performed and analyzed. The prevalence of IP and DP was 27.8% and 1.4%, respectively (table 1). Endoscopic treatment was successful in 92% of the IP cases, with a median of 1 day of extra hospitalization. Only 6 cases of IP required surgical treatment. DP was mostly diagnosed within 24 hours after ESD, with 75% of the cases undergoing surgical treatment and a mean 7.5 days of extended hospital stay.
Conclusions IP in CR-ESD might be high in Wester centers, but endoscopic treatment seems successful in most of the cases, with a short addition of hospital stay. Although DP rate in CR-ESD is very low, it is associated with a high probability of surgical management and longer hospital stay.
