Abstract
We aimed to investigate the factors associated with piecemeal resection of colorectal neoplasia (CRN), in spite of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We analyzed the retrospective data for colorectal ESD cases from January 2005 to April 2014. We also reviewed the piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for CRNs ≥20 mm, performed over the same period. En bloc resection was possible in 648 (85.7%) of 756 lesions in 740 patients. Multivariate analysis showed that hybrid ESD (odds ratio (OR), 29.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 15.46-54.65; p<0.01) and mild or severe submucosal fibrosis (OR, 3.62; 95% CI, 1.94-6.76; p<0.01) were independently associated with piecemeal ESD. The en bloc ESD group showed higher histologic complete resection rate than the piecemeal ESD group (80.4% vs. 56.5%; p<0.01), and the piecemeal ESD group showed higher recurrence rate than in the en bloc ESD group (5.6% [4/72] vs. 0.7% [3/450]; p<0.01). Overall recurrence rate was 1.3% (7/522). Hybrid ESD and submucosal fibrosis are independently associated with piecemeal ESD. Piecemeal ESD cases recurred more frequently than en bloc ESD cases.
