Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To assess the clinical value of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for duodenal prominent lesions.?Methods?21 patients with duodenal prominent lesions underwent ESD from September 2015 to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.?Results?All the patients received operation, including 13 male and 8 female patients. The mean age was (47.6 ± 9.5) years. There were 14 lesions in duodenal bulb and 7 in descending part. The mean diameter of the lesions was (2.4 ± 0.6) cm. 5 lesions originated from the mucosa, including tubular adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 4) and villous/tubular adenoma (n = 1). 16 lesions originated from the submucosa, including Brunner’s glands adenoma (n = 9), ectopic pancreas (n = 4), carcinoid tumor (n = 1), leiomyoma (n = 1), lipoma (n = 1). All the cases received ESD successfully. The perioperative complication rate was 9.5% (2/21), including intraoperative perforation (n = 1), which were closed by titanium clips and nylon clips, no delayed perforation happened and additional surgery needed, and intraoperative hemorrhage (n = 1), were staunched successfully during the operation. No infection or stenosis happened. The mean hospitalized time was (6.5 ± 2.3) days after operation. No recurrence was found during 14 (3.9 ~ 24.7) months of follow-up.?Conclusion?The operation of ESD in duodenum is difficult, and the incidence of surgery-related complications is relatively high, but the high rata of complete resection, less postoperative local recurrence, faster postoperative recovery, and higher quality of life, which can make the duodenal ESD become effective and safe for treatment of duodenal prominent lesions.
