ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Serrated lesions (SLs) including traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), large hyperplastic polyps (HP) and sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) are associated with high incomplete resection rates. Margin ablation combined with EMR (EMR-T) has become routine to reduce local recurrence while cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is becoming recognized as equally effective for large SLs. Our aim was to evaluate local recurrence rates (LRR) and the use of margin ablation in preventing recurrence in a retrospective cohort study.METHODS:
Patients undergoing resection of ≥15 mm colorectal SLs from 2010-2022 were identified through a pathology database and electronic medical records search. Hereditary CRC syndromes, first follow-up > 18 months or no follow-up, surgical resection were excluded. Primary outcome was LRRs (either histologic or visual) during the first 18-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were LRRs according to size, and resection technique.RESULTS:
191 polyps in 170 patients were resected (59.8% women; mean age, 65 years). The mean size of polyps was 22.4 mm, with 107 (56.0%) ≥20 mm. 99 polyps were resected with EMR, 39 with EMR-T, and 26 with CSP. Mean first surveillance was 8.2 mo. Overall LRR was 18.8% (36/191) (16.8% for ≥20 mm, 17.9% for ≥30 mm). LRR was significantly lower after EMR-T when compared with EMR (5.1% vs. 23.2%; p = 0.013) or CSP (5.1% vs. 23.1%; p = 0.031). There was no difference in LRR between EMR without margin ablation and CSP (p = 0.987).CONCLUSION:
The local recurrence rate for SLs ≥15 mm is high with 18.8% overall recurrence. EMR with thermal ablation of the margins is superior to both no ablation and CSP in reducing LRRs.Palavras-chave
