Clara Yzet et al. Use of endoscopic submucosal dissection or full-thickness resection device to treat residual colorectal neoplasia after endoscopic resection: a multicenter historical cohort study

Recurrent colorectal neoplasia after endoscopic resection may be challenging and can be approached by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or full-thickness resection. This retrospective study assessed both resection methods among 275 patients with recurrent lesions after endoscopic mucosal resection. ESD achieved R0 resection more often than full-thickness resection device (FTRD) procedures, with a correspondingly lower recurrence rate, with the exception of lesions of < 20 mm, for which the FTRD procedure was considered comparable.
