Abstract:Objective To investigate the significance of magnifying endoscopy in the precise identification of stump vessels and efficient treatment methods during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods A total of 647 patients who underwent ESD treatment at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to September 2024 were selected for the study, and those with preoperative diagnosis (optical biopsy or pathological biopsy) of early gastric cancer requiring ESD treatment were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the functional type of gastroscopy used: the conventional treatment gastroscopy and wound observation group, and the magnifying gastroscopy and wound observation group..In the magnifying gastroscopy and wound observation group, the same magnifying gastroscopy was used throughout the procedure for both diagnosis and treatment. The postoperative wound was observed under the low-magnification mode to accurately identify stump vessels ends. The tissue clip was then applied to occlude the exposed root of the stump vessels ends, followed by appropriate thermal forceps.The differences of gender, age, location of lesions, morphological type, length of lesions, the rate of vascular finding in the stump, delayed postoperative bleeding and perforation were analyzed. Results A total of 160 patients were enrolled in the study. The conventional treatment gastroscopy and wound observation group comprised 126 cases, while the magnifying gastroscopy and wound observation group included 34 cases. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of gender, age, lesion location, morphological classification, or lesion diameter (P>0.05). Regarding complications, neither group experienced perforation. Among the conventional treatment group, 4 cases of delayed bleeding were reported, whereas the the magnifying gastroscopy group clearly demonstrated stump vessels in 41.2% (14/34) of postoperative wounds. Under low-magnification mode, precise clamping with tissue clips was performed, and no delayed bleeding occurred. Conclusion The magnifying gastroscopy identify occult stump vessels can effectively prevent or reduce the incidence of delayed bleeding post-gastric ESD. It is expected to achieve integration of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment procedures.The cost-benefit ratio can be improved.
