ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION VERSUS LOCAL LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL RESECTION (TRANSANAL MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY [TAMIS] TRANSANAL ENDOSCOPIC OPERATION [TEO]) IN EARLY RECTAL NEOPLASIAS (DSETAMIS-2018 STUDY). PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Aims Endoscopic Submucosa Dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic surgical resection techniques (Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and Transanal endoscopic operation (TEO)) have demonstrated high rates of curative resection in Early Rectal Neoplasias (ERN), although no randomized studies comparing both strategies have been published. We present the preliminary results of the DSETAMIS-2018 study.
To compare ESD and TAMIS/TEO (T/T) in recurrence rate (3-6-12 months), en-bloc & R0 resection rate, time of procedure and safety.
Methods Prospective multicentric randomized no-inferiority clinical trial. Consecutive patients with non-pedunculated ERN >20 mm, between 3-14 cm from the external anal verge, involving less than 50% of the rectum circumference and without signs of deep invasion were eligible. The estimated sample size is 34 cases per study group for a non-inferiority limit of 10%, power of 80% (beta 0.2) and alpha error 0.05. This study is registered in clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03959839).
Results From April 2019 20 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were invited to. Seven patients were finally randomized (4 ESD, 3 T/T), whereas 13 patients declined and choose the endoscopic treatment (ESD). The preliminary results of the randomized patients are shown in [Table 1].
Conclusions This is one of the first randomized clinical trials comparing ESD with surgical endoscopic treatment in ERN. Recruitment is limited by patient’s preference towards ESD and restrictive inclusion criteria due to technical limitations of surgical procedures. Preliminary results show a remarkable en-bloc and R0 resection in ESD group.
