Abstract:Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anchoring endoscopic mucosal resection (A‑EMR) for the treatment of colorectal sessile polyps. Methods Patients with 10‑20 mm colorectal sessile polyps at the Tenth Affiliated Hospital, Southern Medical University from January to September 2024 were included in a randomized controlled trial and randomized to A‑EMR or conventional EMR (C‑EMR) group using the random number table method. Baseline data, operation time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the en bloc resection rate, and complete resection rate were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 56 patients (58 polyps) underwent A‑EMR and 54 patients (55 polyps) C‑EMR, with comparable baseline characteristics (P>0.05). Resection time was similar between the two groups (4.48±0.50 min VS 5.17±0.71 min, t=-1.590, P=0.115). The overall rates of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding were similar between the two groups [7.1% (4/56) VS 13.0% (7/54), χ2=1.035,P=0.309)]. The A‑EMR group demonstrated significantly higher en bloc resection [96.6% (56/58) VS 81.8% (45/55)] and complete resection rates [93.1% (54/58) VS 74.5% (41/55)] compared with the C‑EMR group (χ2=6.456, P=0.011; χ2=7.260, P=0.007). Conclusion A‑EMR is safe and reliable for the resection of colorectal sessile polyps , demonstrating superior resection outcomes compared with C-EMR.
