Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) can minimize the risk of adverse events and has become a standard treatment for small colorectal polyps. CSP might also be suitable for small superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs). This study aimed to evaluate the safety of CSP for SNADETs.
Methods
The major indication criteria were as follows: (1) endoscopically diagnosed SNADET, (2) ≤ 10 mm, and (3) a single primary lesion. CSP was performed using an electrosurgical snare without electrocautery. Follow-up endoscopy and scar biopsy were performed 3 months after CSP. The primary endpoint was the delayed adverse events rate.
Results
In total, 21 patients were enrolled. Two and 19 lesions were located in the duodenal bulb and 2nd portion, respectively; the median lesion size was 8 mm. CSP was attempted for all lesions; three lesions could not be resected without electrocautery and were removed by conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The rate of spurting bleeding after CSP was 0%. The median procedure time was 12 min, the median resected specimen size was 12 mm, and the rate of en bloc resection was 81% (17/21). No adverse events were observed intraoperatively, with no delayed adverse events after CSP. Histopathology revealed 15 adenomas, 4 cancers (intramucosal), and 2 non-neoplastic lesions. The horizontal margins were negative/positive/undetermined in 9, 1, and 11 cases, respectively. All vertical margins were negative. Only one recurrence was detected by follow-up endoscopy 3 months after CSP.
Conclusions
CSP can be performed safely for small SNADETs.
