Event Description

Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "a study of ingenuity of esd for early gastric cancer in s-8 aosagisatsu region".Background and objectives: the u region is considered a difficult site for esd in early-stage gastric cancer.The difficulty of esd is particularly high in the nodal region.The reasons for this include easy submersion, thin gastric wall, difficulty in proximity, and lesions facing each other.On the other hand, esd has become possible even in the mandibular region with the use of traction devices and a wide variety of knives and scopes in recent years.We will review the results of esd in our clinic and explore effective esd techniques.Methods: we retrospectively reviewed the results of esd and details of the technique in 24 cases of early gastric cancer located in the nuchal region out of 1818 cases and 2281 lesions of early gastric cancer esd performed at our hospital from february 2004 to september 2023.The gif-q260j and gif-h290t scopes were defined as standard scopes, and the other scopes were defined as special scopes.Results: results: median age 66 years, gender (male/female) 16/8, gross type: 0-ila 8 cases, 0-ilb 8 cases, 0-ilc 8 cases, h.Pylori: negative 15 cases, positive 9 cases, site: anterior wall 1 case, posterior wall 5 cases, large crossbow 10 cases, apical 8 cases, postoperative reconstructed stomach 2 cases.Median resection lesion diameter was 14 mm, median resection specimen diameter was 36 mm, depth (m/sm1/sm2) was 14/5/5, ul was 1 case, and positive vascular invasion was 1 case.The median treatment time was 141 minutes, and all patients underwent complete en bloc resection.No posterior hemorrhage or delayed perforation was observed.Intraoperative perforation was observed in 4 patients (17%), but it could be treated conservatively.Details of the procedure: all patients received co2 insufflation, 3 high-frequency knives (flash knife bt 1.5mm or 2.Omm, it knife 2, and clutch cutter), traction method in 6 cases without and 18 cases with, special scope in 7 cases pcf260ji and qt2604.In the perforation cases, none of the 4 cases used the special scope, and 3 cases were located at the apex, and the technique was performed in the field of view with the knife facing the muscle layer.Perforation in cases using the special scope was 0%, whereas perforation with the normal scope was 31% (p=o.098).The use of the special scope was considered to be a factor in avoiding perforation because it provided a field of view parallel to the muscle layer.Conclusion: although the rate of esd perforation in the nodal region is as high as 17% and the choice of treatment method requires more careful consideration, the use of a special scope may reduce the risk of esd perforation.Type of adverse events/number of patients.Intraoperative perforation (n=4).
