Background:
Conventional endoscopic papillectomy (ESP) for ampullary adenoma is performed as a hybrid endoscopy and fluoroscopy guided procedure. In this study, we report our preliminary experience of non-radiation ESP.
Methods:
The present method includes endoscopic snare resection, non-radiation endoscopic biliary and pancreatic stenting and endoclipping. Data from ten patients who underwent non-radiation ESP due to ampullary adenoma were collected. Procedure details, adverse events and follow-up were analyzed.
Results:
Complete resection was accomplished in all patients, with en bloc resection and piecemeal resection in nine and one patient(s), respectively. Both biliary and pancreatic stenting and biliary stenting alone were achieved in eight and two patients, respectively. Endoclipping was performed in all patients. Hyperleukocytosis and hyperamylasemia occurred in two and one patient(s), respectively. No other complications occurred. No lesion residual or recurrence occurred during follow-up.
Conclusions:
Radiation-free ESP can be technically feasible and safely executed by experienced endoscopists. Our study provides a novel strategy for endoscopic resection of major papilla adenoma.
