Colonic ESD: Improved Outcomes Using a Double Balloon Device Compared to Conventional Cap Technique

Sam Sharma, MD, Hisashi Hara, MD, Miro Peev, MD, Jeffrey Milsom, MD, FACS. Weill Cornell Medical College

Introduction: The established endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique for removal of large colonic polyps requires pushing of the scope tip, equipped with a plastic cap, under and around the polyp. The cap provides traction and “stand-off” between tissue and the colonoscope camera, but substantially limits the view and subjects it to debris and poor visualisation from electrosurgery. We considered using a Double Balloon (DB) device with independent inflation control and variable distance function to overcome these limitations, in particular providing tissue traction.

We set out to evaluate the standard cap technique versus a novel DB technique (no cap) in performing ESD in an experimental model.

Methods and procedures: Fresh ex-vivo porcine rectosigmoid colon was used in an established “polyp excision” model. Twelve 4 cm mucosal “lesions” were outlined and targeted for complete ESD with a 5 mm margin. Traditional ESD method using a cap technique (n=6) (Olympus cap D-201-12704) or DB method using a novel device (n=6) (DiLumen®, Lumendi, LLC) was performed in an alternate fashion using a pediatric colonoscope (Olympus PCF-H180AL). Monopolar electrosurgery using the ERBE electrosurgical generator with Olympus dualknife (KD-650U) were used in all procedures to remove the “polyp” (80w Cut 40w Coagulation).

Variables measured were time to complete procedure, % completion (procedure time was limited to 80 minutes), clear margins, perforations, and a 6 point scoring system for various parameters relevant to endoscopy (Scoring system: 1=excellent, 2=good, 3=above average, 4=below average, 5=minimal, 6=none). Data was recorded and analysed using Graphpad Prism software. All procedures were recorded (both the endoscopic view and external operator view) and resected specimens (both colon and removed polyp) photographed.

Results:

By the sixth attempts, time to complete ESD was similar in both techniques (30 vs 33 minutes – red and blue – figure 2). Clear margins were maintained in all specimens. Minor perforations were observed in the DB group during the first 2 attempts, no perforations were observed by the last attempt.

Limitations: Ex-vivo nature of the study, one operator and sample size.

Conclusions: In an experimental ex-vivo ESD colon polypectomy model, an independently controllable DB endoscopic system substantially improved stability and visualization compared with cap-assisted ESD, with a similar safety profile. Despite the early nature of this feasibility study, the DB assisted technique holds promise to expand the capabilities of endoluminal therapy.

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
