Abstract
Background and Aims There is growing evidence for the role of cold piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR) in the treatment of colorectal lesions ≥10mm. However, it is unclear if it is equally efficacious for all histologic subtypes and sizes. This retrospective study compares the efficacy and safety of C-EMR in the resection of medium (10-19mm) and large (≥20mm) serrated and adenomatous lesions.
Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of Paris IIa colonic lesions resected utilising a C-EMR technique over a 3.5 year period at our center.
Results C-EMR was performed for 242 lesions in 151 patients. Lesion size ranged between 10mm to 50mm, with median size of 20mm. Ninety-five polyps were adenomatous, with 147 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs). At six month surveillance colonoscopy, the combined recurrence rate was 6.2%. Adenomas ≥20mm demonstrated a higher rate of recurrence (16.1%) compared to large SSLs (4.1%), medium adenomas (3.0%), and medium SSLs (1.4%). There were no adverse events reported following C-EMR.
Conclusions C-EMR seems to be less effective for the resection of large adenomas when compared to medium adenomas or large SSLs. C-EMR is equally safe for all lesion size and histology.
