Abstract
<i>Background</i>: Submucosal tumors of the digestive tract are common diseases, which are difficult to diagnose and treat because of their occurrence in the digestive tract. In the past, follow-up observation or surgical operation were usually adopted for SMT, but the surgical operation had many disadvantages such as large trauma, many complications and long postoperative recovery time. In contrast, endoscopic therapy is characterized by safety. The clinical features of endoscopic mass resection remain unclear. <i>Objective</i>: To analyze the clinical features of submucosal masses of digestive tract. The pathological types and distribution of the tumor and the safety of endoscopic surgery were also discussedMethods: We analyzed the clinical data of 108 patients with submucosal tumors of the digestive tract by endoscopic surgery in our hospital. <i>Results</i>: The submucosal masses of the digestive tract were mainly leiomyoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor, mostly benign lesions, mainly distributed in the mucosa and muscularis propria, and there was no difference between the sexes. The operative complication rate of endoscopic surgery for submucosal masses of digestive tract is low. <i>Conclusion</i>: c of small gastric submucosal tumors is safe enough and effective in diagnosis and treatment. EMR and ERE are still commonly used endoscopic surgery methods at present.
Highlights
Submucosal tumor (SMT) of the digestive tract refers to the pathological changes below the gastrointestinal mucosa, most of which are benign, but some of which have the potential for malignant transformation [1]
Further analysis revealed that the submucosal masses of the digestive tract were mostly leiomyoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (Figure 2C)
Statistical analysis was performed on the surgical methods of all patients in this study, and the results showed that endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) were the main surgical methods for submucosal masses of the digestive tract (Table 1)
Summary
Submucosal tumor (SMT) of the digestive tract refers to the pathological changes below the gastrointestinal mucosa, most of which are benign, but some of which have the potential for malignant transformation [1]. There were differences in the nature of masses in different parts of the digestive tract, and leiomyoma and stromal tumor were more common SMT lesions in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, etc, but the distribution of various digestive tract masses in patients of different ages was still less reported. The pathological types and distribution of the tumor and the safety of endoscopic surgery were discussedMethods: We analyzed the clinical data of 108 patients with submucosal tumors of the digestive tract by endoscopic surgery in our hospital. Results: The submucosal masses of the digestive tract were mainly leiomyoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor, mostly benign lesions, mainly distributed in the mucosa and muscularis propria, and there was no difference between the sexes. EMR and ERE are still commonly used endoscopic surgery methods at present
