Our study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes between endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with an insulated-tip knife (ESD-IT) and a needle-type knife (ESD-N) for large superficial esophageal neoplasms, as no study of this kind has been previously reported. We used the dataset of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial that compared conventional ESD (C-ESD) and traction-assisted ESD (TA-ESD) for superficial esophageal neoplasms. We compared the procedural outcomes between ESD-IT and ESD-N in a post hoc analysis and conducted sub-analyses based on traction assistance and electrical knife type. We included 223 (EST-IT, n = 169; ESD-N, n = 54) patients with no significant differences in baseline characteristics. The operator handover rate due to ESD difficulties was significantly higher in ESD-N (ESD-IT = 0.6% vs. ESD-N = 13.0%, P = 0.001), while the injection volume was significantly higher in ESD-IT than in ESD-N (40.0 vs. 20.5 mL, P < 0.001). Other outcomes were comparable between both groups (procedural time: 51.0 vs. 49.5 minute, P = 0.89; complete resection: 90.5% vs. 90.7%, P > 0.99; and complication rate: 1.8% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.60 for ESD-IT and ESD-N, respectively). In the sub-analyses, the handover rate was significantly lower with TA-ESD than with C-ESD for ESD-N (3.2% vs. 26.1%, P = 0.034), and a significantly smaller injection volume was used in TA-ESD than in C-ESD for ESD-IT (31.5 vs. 47.0 mL, P < 0.01). ESD with either endoscopic device achieved favorable treatment outcomes with low complication rates. The handover rate in ESD-N and the injection volume in ESD-IT improved with the traction method.
我们的研究旨在比较内镜黏膜下剥离术(ESD)中使用绝缘刀头(ESD-IT)和针型刀(ESD-N)治疗大型食管浅表肿瘤的治疗效果,因为此前尚无此类研究。我们使用了一项多中心、随机对照试验的数据集,该试验比较了传统 ESD(C-ESD)和牵引辅助 ESD(TA-ESD)治疗食管浅表肿瘤的效果。我们在事后分析中比较了 ESD-IT 和 ESD-N 之间的程序结果,并根据牵引辅助和电刀类型进行了亚分析。我们纳入了 223 名(ESD-IT,n=169;ESD-N,n=54)患者,他们的基线特征无显著差异。由于 ESD 困难而导致的术者交接率在 ESD-N 中显著更高(ESD-IT=0.6%比 ESD-N=13.0%,P=0.001),而 ESD-IT 的注射量显著高于 ESD-N(40.0 比 20.5 mL,P<0.001)。两组的其他结果相当(操作时间:51.0 比 49.5 分钟,P=0.89;完全切除率:90.5%比 90.7%,P>0.99;并发症发生率:1.8%比 3.7%,P=0.60 分别用于 ESD-IT 和 ESD-N)。在亚分析中,与 C-ESD 相比,TA-ESD 中 ESD-N 的术者交接率显著更低(3.2%比 26.1%,P=0.034),TA-ESD 中 ESD-IT 的注射量也显著小于 C-ESD(31.5 比 47.0 mL,P<0.01)。使用任何一种内镜设备进行 ESD 都能达到良好的治疗效果,且并发症发生率较低。ESD-N 中的交接率和 ESD-IT 中的注射量随着牵引方法的应用而改善。
