Olympus received a literature titled "endoscopic resection of giant esophageal subepithelial lesions: experience from a large tertiary center." background and aims: increased reports on endoscopic resection (er) of esophageal giant subepithelial lesions (g-sels) have emerged in recent years.The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, technical difficulty, and safety through our single-center experience.Methods: seventy-five patients with g-sels undergoing endoscopic resection were included in the training set.Clinicopathologic features, procedure-related characteristics, postprocedural outcomes, and follow-up data were analyzed.A predictive nomogram model for procedural difficulty was proposed based on the multivariable logistic regression analysis.Internal and external validations were conducted to verify the model performance.Results: the overall en bloc resection rate was 93.3%.Intraoperative and postoperative adverse events occurred in 7 (9.3%) and 13 (17.3%) patients, respectively.No recurrence or metastasis was observed.Thirty-two (42.7%) patients underwent a difficult procedure.Age (adjusted odds ratio [aor],.915; p =.004), maximal tumor diameter =8 cm (aor, 9.896; p =.009), irregular shape (aor, 4.081; p =.053), extraluminal growth pattern (aor, 5.419; p =.011), and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (aor,.109; p =.042) were found to be statistically or clinically significant factors for predicting endoscopic resection difficulty, based on which a nomogram model was developed.Internal and external validations of the nomogram via receiver-operating characteristic curves and calibration curves achieved favorable results.Conclusions: endoscopic resection serves as a promising therapeutic option for esophageal g-sels.A younger patient age, large tumor size, irregular shape, and extraluminal growth may indicate increased endoscopic resection difficulty, whereas a submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection procedure tends to be of lower difficulty.Our nomogram model performs well for predicting endoscopic resection difficulty for esophageal g-sels.¿type of adverse events/number of patients¿ pneumoperitoneum (7).Pneumothorax/hydrothorax (13).Leaks/fistulas (6).Delayed bleeding (2).Fistula (2).Fever (25).Cardiac mucosal laceration (delayed bleeding) (1).Patient's with pneumoperitoneum required abdominocentesis for decompression.Patient's with pneumothorax/hydrothorax were treated with us-guided thoracic drainage.Patients with leaks or fistulas underwent an endoscopic therapeutic approach.
