To explore the novel treatment of small gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from the muscularis propria layer (SMT-MPs), we utilized endoscopic band ligation (EBL) with a precut of the covering mucosa.
From Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2019, 111 patients with 124 gastric SMT-MPs were treated by precutting EBL. The clinical characteristics, operation duration, postoperative adverse events, and follow-up profiles were retrospectively collected.
A total of 124 tumors from 111 patients were successfully treated by precutting EBL. No adverse events, including perforation and major bleeding, were observed. Furthermore, 93 patients (83.8%) underwent endoscopic surveillance postoperatively, and during the follow-up period, no local recurrence was detected.
Precutting EBL appears to be a safe and simple method for removing gastric SMT-MPs < 16 mm (mainly indicated for potentially malignant GISTs), but further studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess the radicality of this intervention.
为探索固有肌层起源的小胃黏膜下肿瘤(SMT)的新型治疗方法,我们采用了黏膜预切开的内镜套扎术(EBL)。
回顾性收集了 2012 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间 111 例共 124 个胃固有肌层 SMT 患者的临床特征、手术时间、术后不良事件和随访资料。
124 个肿瘤均采用黏膜预切开 EBL 成功治疗,未出现穿孔和大出血等不良事件。93 例(83.8%)患者术后进行了内镜监测,随访期间未发现局部复发。
黏膜预切开 EBL 似乎是一种安全、简单的方法,适用于直径<16mm 的胃固有肌层 SMT(主要针对潜在恶性 GISTs),但需要进一步进行长期随访研究以评估该干预的根治性。
