Abstract:Objective To explore the application value of simple manual rubber traction device in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal laterally spreading tumor (LST).Methods A retrospective cohort study was used to collect patients who underwent ESD for colorectal LST from June 1, 2022 to June 9, 2023. According to the use of the manual rubber traction device, patients were divided into colorectal traction ESD group (tESD group, n = 22) and colorectal conventional ESD group (cESD group, n = 44), the differences were compared between the two groups in the number of intraoperative hemostasis, the number of titanium clips used, the success rate of ESD, incidence of postoperative complications, hospital stay time, and treatment costs.Results The tESD group had relatively longer operation time and shorter hospitalization days than those of cESD group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05); There were no statistically significant differences in the number of titanium clips used, postoperative complication rates, and hospitalization costs between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Colorectal traction ESD can be used as a remedial plan when traditional ESD is difficult to perform, and the use of traction does not increase the hospitalization cost of patients, and the postoperative complications of the two methods are similar. It is worthy of clinical application.
