Lower recurrence rate with endoscopic submucosal dissection of large colonic lesions
The procedure was also associated with fewer adverse events than endoscopic mucosal resection.
For patients with large benign colonic lesions, endoscopic submucosal dissection is associated with reduced recurrence at six months compared with endoscopic mucosal resection, according to a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Dr Jérémie Jacques, from Service d’Hepato-Gastro-Enterologie in Limoges, France, and colleagues compared endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for large colonic adenomas in a multicentre study.
