ABSTRACT
Background and study aims Rectal neuroendocrine tumors grade 1 (NET G1; carcinoid)â≤â10âmm in diameter often extend into the submucosa, making their complete histological resection difficult using endoscopic techniques. Endoscopic submucosal resection with a ligation device (ESMR-L) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are commonly used to overcome these difficulties. We also previously reported that underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) could facilitate resection of rectal NET G1.âThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of UEMR for removing rectal NET G1â≤â10âmm in diameter. 6 consecutive patients with rectal NET G1â≤â10âmm in diameter underwent UEMR at our hospital. The rate of en bloc resection was 100â%, and the rate of R0 resection was 83â%. The median procedure time was 8âmin (range 5â-â12âmin). No perforations or delayed bleeding occurred in this study. In conclusion, UEMR allows the safe and reliable resection of rectal NET G1â≤â10âmm in diameter with comparable results to ESMR-L or ESD, including high en bloc and R0 resection rates with no increase in significant adverse events. A multicenter trial is required to confirm the validity of the present results.
