Abstract:Objective:To investigate the value of self-controlled chain ring combined with tissue clip traction-assisted technique in ESD of early colorectal tumors in difficult sites and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods: Sixty-one patients with early colorectal tumors (difficult sites) who underwent ESD treatment at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to April 2024 were selected and divided into two groups according to the method of treatment, with 29 cases in the traction-assisted ESD group (experimental group) and 32 cases in the traditional ESD group (control group), and the two groups were compared with each other in terms of age, gender, tumor size, morphology, location, Pit Pattern typing, pathologic type, depth of infiltration, one-time complete resection, curative resection rate, as well as the time of difficult site dissection, and complications (intraoperative hemorrhage, muscular layer injury, perforation, delayed postoperative perforation, and hemorrhage), etc. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, gender, tumor size, morphology, location, Pit Pattern typing, pathological type, depth of infiltration, one-time complete resection, and curative resection (P>0.05); there was a statistically significant difference in terms of the time to peel off the difficult site (P<0.001), and the efficiency of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group. Conclusions: Self-controlled chain ring combined with tissue clip traction-assisted technology in difficult areas of early colorectal tumor ESD has significant clinical efficacy, self-regulation, convenience, safety, reliability, and high cost-effectiveness in the“super minimally invasive”and“post-ESD”endoscopic eras. It is worth being popularized and applied in clinical practice.
