Aims Interval colorectal cancers can result from an incompletely resected lesion. Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) were more likely to be incompletely resected than conventional adenomas. Precut endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-P) is a method for improving complete and en bloc resection rate of large gastrointestinal neoplasia.
Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for resection of large (≥ 1 cm) colorectal lesions with endoscopic features of SSA/P (a pale or normal-colored flat lesion with indistinctive border, mucus cap, cloud-like surface, rim of debris, and dilated crypts) in Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital from January 2014 to July 2019.
Results Among 615 eligible lesions with endoscopic features of SSA/P, 359 lesions in conventional endoscopic resection (EMR) group and 161 lesions in EMR-P group were included in the study. 95 lesions were excluded because of non-neoplastic histopathology, less-experienced operators, or missing data. The mean size of the lesions was 12.8 ± 3.8 mm and 15.6 ± 4.4 mm (P < 0.001) and en bloc resection rate was 90.5% in EMR group and 91.9% in EMR-P group (P = 0.608), respectively. R0 resection rate was significantly higher in EMR-P group compared to EMR group (89.4% vs. 64.3%, P< 0.001) and median procedure time was significantly longer in the EMR-P group compared to EMR group (492.4 ± 336.3 sec vs. 182.3 ± 137.8 sec, P < 0.001). Two delayed perforations occurred in the EMR-P group. In univariate analysis, EMR-P, en bloc resection, morphology and right side lesions were significantly associated with R0 resection. In multivariate analysis, EMR-P, right side lesions were significantly associated with R0 resection. During the median follow-up of 21.9 ± 12.1 months, 3 recurrences occurred in the EMR group only (P = 0.561).
Conclusions EMR-P is superior to EMR for R0 resection of large colorectal lesions with endoscopic features of SSA/P although significantly longer procedure time is required for EMR-P.
