Study summary

Cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-C) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have both been reported to be effective treatment methods for small rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in limited studies. Which one is better has not been determined. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of EMR-C and ESD for the treatment of small rectal NET.

Interventions

  • ProcedureESD procedure

    ESD were all performed as the standard procedure that has been widely described and used. A diluted sodium hyaluronate solution was injected submucosally. Mucosal incision and submucosal dissection were performed by using either Hook knife (Olympus Medical, Japan) or a dual-knife (Olympus Medical, Japan) . After the resection was finished, all of the visible vessels on the artificial ulcer bed were thoroughly coagulated with argon plasma coagulation to prevent postoperative bleeding.

  • ProcedureEMR-C procedure

    A transparent cap (MH-593; Olympus) was attached to the forward-viewing endoscope. After the endoscope was inserted to the rectum, the snare passed through the sheath and was looped along the inner lip of the cap. The tumor was then suctioned into the cap and the snare was pushed off and closed. After confirming the appropriate snare placement, both the tumor and the overlying mucosa were resected by electric cautery (Endocut Q, effect 2, VIO 200D; ERBE, Tübingen, Germany), and then the removed tumor was sent for pathological examination. Endoscopic examination then was repeated without the transparent cap in order to evaluate the wound carefully in case there was any perforation or bleeding and to ensure the absence of the residual tumor tissues. If there was spurting bleeding or active bleeding, hot forceps were usually to stop the bleeding.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. complete resection rate(R0 rate)

    Complete resection was defined as negative horizontal and vertical margins of specimen.

    Time frame: within 14 days after procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. operating time

    the time from endoscope in to endoscope out

    Time frame: intraoperative

  2. complications rate

    Complications were defined as perforation or hemorrhage during or after operation.

    Time frame: within 14 days after procedure

  3. length of stay

    calculated from the day of admission to day of discharge

    Time frame: within 14 days after procedure

  4. hospitalization cost

    represent the hospital's costs of being hospitalized

    Time frame: within 14 days after procedure

  5. recurrence rate

    a new rectal NET recurred confirmed by endoscopy and EUS

    Time frame: one year after procedure
