Abstract
Background
To investigate the value of single forceps endoscopic traction stapling suture technique (SFETSST) in closing wounds caused by endoscopic resection of gastrointestinal muscularis propria tumor (GMPT).
Methods
Consecutive patients who underwent submucosal tumor excavation (ESE) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) for GMPT in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College from January 2015 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected. They were divided into the SFETSST group and the standard group (patients who receive single forceps traction-free endoscopic suture technique). The healing effects were compared between the two groups.
Results
Seventy-seven patients were included in our study with 50 patients included in SFETSST group. The baseline characteristics had no significant difference between the two groups. The technical success rate of wound suture in SFETSST cluster was significantly upper than that within standard cluster (100% vs. 88.89%, P = 0.04). The wound suture time in SFETSST cluster was significantly lower than that within standard cluster (33.19 ± 10.64 min, P < 0.001). Moreover, the incidence rates of intra-operative and postoperative complications in SFETSST cluster were lower than standard cluster (0 vs. 7.41%, P = 0.051 and 0 vs. 11.11%, P = 0.016). Interestingly, the SFETSST cluster had lower cost of consumables (2485.40 ± 591.78 vs. 4098.52 ± 1903.06 Yuan, P = 0.01) and shorter hospital stay (4.96 ± 0.90 vs. 7.19 ± 2.45, P < 0.001) than standard cluster.
Conclusion
Our study showed that to fully closure the full-thickness defects of digestive tract, SFETSST was effective, safe, and economical, which was worth popularizing.
