Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection Versus Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for the Treatment of Small Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors
Sponsor: Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
Summary
Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have both been reported to be two effective treatment methods for small rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET). However, there is no consensus on the best method for the endoscopic resection of rectal NET. Therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of UEMR and ESD for the treatment of small rectal NET.

Conditions
Interventions
UEMR procedure
Small rectal NET will be removed by underwater endoscopic mucosal resection. The UEMR procedure included the following: (1) complete deflation of the colorectal lumen; (2) total immersion of the lesion in normal saline using a mechanical water pump; (3)needle injection of normal saline into the submucosa; (4) snaring the lesion and the surrounding mucosa; and (5) resection using electrocautery.
ESD procedure
Small rectal NET will be removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection. The ESD procedure included the following: (1) dots were marked approximately 5 mm from the periphery of the lesion using coagulation; (2) a diluted sodium hyaluronate solution with indigo carmine dye was injected submucosally. (3) mucosal incision and submucosal dissection were performed using a T-Type ESD Knife (Micro-Tech, Nanjing, China) or Dual-knife (Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan); (4)after resection was completed, all visible vessels on the artificial wound were thoroughly coagulated to prevent postoperative bleeding.
