Abstract

Insights

Endoscopic treatment for sporadic nonampullary duodenal adenoma (SNDA) is feasible. While endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) show high resection rates, argon plasma coagulation (APC) or EMR may reduce perforation risks.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Endoscopic treatment for duodenal neoplasms carries a significant risk of perforation.
  • Sporadic nonampullary duodenal adenoma (SNDA) requires evaluation for safe and effective endoscopic management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of endoscopic treatment for SNDA.
  • To compare the efficacy and safety of different endoscopic techniques for SNDA.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 92 patients with 95 SNDA lesions treated between 2005 and 2015.
  • Lesions were managed using argon plasma coagulation (APC) ablation, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
  • Outcomes including resection rates, perforation, and recurrence were analyzed, with long-term follow-up (>12 months).

Main Results:

  • En bloc and complete resection rates were high for both EMR (83.1%, 81.4%) and ESD (90.0%, 80.0%).
  • Overall perforation occurred in 8.7% of patients; ESD had a significantly higher rate (45.5%) compared to APC (0%) and EMR (5.1%).
  • Recurrence was observed in one patient (APC group) during a median follow-up of 19 months; no recurrences were noted with EMR or ESD.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic treatment, particularly EMR and ESD, demonstrates favorable long-term outcomes for SNDA.
  • APC ablation or EMR may be preferable alternatives to ESD due to lower perforation risks.
  • Endoscopic management is an effective strategy for SNDA, balancing efficacy with safety considerations.

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
