Feasibility, safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for recurrent superficial rectal neoplastic lesions after transanal microsurgery.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for recurrent rectal neoplastic lesions after transanal microsurgery of superficial rectal neoplasms.

METHODS

Multicenter retrospective study.

MAIN OUTCOMES

recurrence at first endoscopic follow-up, En bloc, R0 and curative resections.

RESULTS

39 patients were included. 71 % percent of lesions were located in the lower rectum, 57 % reached the pectineal line. 67 % were laterally spreading tumor granular type, 33 % were protruding lesions. Median size was 41 mm (IQR 30 - 60). Median operation time was 70 min (IQR 35 - 97). 92 % were successfully resected en bloc. R0 and curative resection rates were 77 % and 71 %, respectively. Perirectal fat was visualized in 10 patients, none of them required surgery. One significant hematochezia (3 %), two stenosis (6 %) and one untreatable anal incontinence (3 %) occurred. Median hospital stay after endoscopic submucosal dissection was 2 days (IQR 1-2). Median period for the first endoscopy follow-up was 6 months (IQR 4-8). A single post endoscopic submucosal dissection recurrence adenoma was found during follow-up (3 %), occurring after a non-en bloc resection.

CONCLUSION

Endoscopic submucosal dissection is a good option for safely achieving high rates of complete en bloc resection in cases of recurrent superficial rectal tumor after transanal microsurgery.
