View clinical trials related to Endoscopic Mucosal Resection.
Filter by:The EndoRotor® is intended for use (USA labeling) in endoscopic procedures by a trained gastroenterologist to resect and remove tissue, not intended for biopsy, of the gastrointestinal (GI) system including post-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) tissue persistence with a scarred base and residual tissue from the peripheral margins following EMR. In this trial investigators will conduct a post-market, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study for the treatment of subjects with the need for resection of recurrent flat or sessile colorectal lesions where EndoRotor is the primary resection modality of persistent adenoma with a scarred base.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large (≥20 mm) laterally spreading colonic lesions (LSL) is safe, effective and superior to surgery. This advantage is based on a day stay model of care, however the most common adverse event is abdominal pain and this is a major impediment to this efficiency. No prospective data exist on the optimal selection of analgesics, the necessary recovery period or the triggers that should alert the practitioner to a more serious trajectory and the need for escalation of care. We aimed to characterise potential predictors for persistent (>5 minutes) post-procedural pain (PP) and develop a simple and effective management algorithm for patients with PP based on the need for analgesics in recovery. Data on consecutive patients with a LSL referred for EMR at a single, tertiary referral centre were included. Patient and lesion characteristics and peri-procedural data were prospectively collected. Standard post EMR care included 2 hours in first stage recovery followed by 1 hour in 2nd stage recovery where clear fluids were given and discharge after if the patients were well. PP was graded from 0 to 10 using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). If PP occurred >5 minutes, 1 gram of paracetamol was administered parenterally and outcomes were monitored. If pain settled the patient was transferred to second stage recovery after medical review. PP >30 minutes lead to clinical review and upgrade of analgesics to fentanyl, with a starting dose of 25 micrograms (mcg) up to a maximum of 100 mcg. Investigations, admission and interventions for PP are recorded.
To date there are no available data on the utility of the endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) defect in stratifying the risk of immediate or delayed adverse outcomes, particularly clinically significant post EMR bleeding (CSPEB). The investigators aimed to analyse the data to determine if any of these EMR defect features allow us to estimate the risk of CSPEB. This will help endoscopists to identify defects with a high risk of adverse outcomes and may translate into improved patient outcomes.
To avoid complications secondary to advanced endoscopic resection techniques (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection -EMR- or Endoscopic Submucosal Disection -ESD-) the endoscopists have to avoid deep thermal damage and increase mucosal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical endoscopic resection models.
