Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "free-hand endoscopic full-thickness resection for duodenal subepithelial lesions." literature summary background and aim: this work aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of free-hand endoscopic full-thickness resection (eftr) for duodenal subepithelial lesions (sels).Methods: we performed a retrospective review of 105 patients with duodenal sels who underwent free-hand eftr.Free-hand eftr means no other devices (over-the-scope clip or full-thickness resection device) are required.The preoperative baseline data, procedure-related characteristics, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.Results: the technical success rate was 99.0%, and the en bloc resection rate was 94.2%.A total of nine (8.7%) patients experienced major postoperative adverse events (aes).The incidence of major aes was significantly higher for lesions with a maximum diameter =2 cm (30.4%) than for lesions with a maximum diameter <2 cm (2.6%) (p< 0.001).There were also significant differences in the incidence of major aes for peri-ampullary lesions (37.5%), bulb lesions (4.8%), bulb-descending junction lesions (6.7%), and descending part lesions (12.5%) (p = 0.032).Multivariable regression analyses revealed that the maximum diameter = 2 cm (or = 18.108; 95% ci = 1.881¿174.281; p = 0.012) and lesions located in peri-ampullary (or = 18.950; 95% ci = 1.219¿294.648; p = 0.036) were independent risk factors for major aes.The mean duration of the follow-up period was 36.6 ± 21.3 months, and only one patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumors recurred.Conclusions: free-hand eftr is a safe and effective technique for nonpapillary duodenal sels with a maximum diameter of < 2 cm.Given the complexity of the duodenal anatomy, this procedure should be performed by experienced endoscopists.Type of adverse events/number of patients: one 30-year-old female experienced adverse events of delayed bleeding, delayed perforation, and retroperitoneal infection after the eftr procedure.The patient received treatments of open surgery, blood transfusion, and intensive care unit (icu) management.There was no allegation of device malfunction identified in the article.
