Abstract

Background and aim

Endoscopic resection (ER) has been used to remove submucosal tumors (SMTs) in recent years; however, duodenal ER is associated with high rates of immediate or delayed bleeding and perforation. Whether ER can be recommended for the treatment of duodenal SMTs remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes associated with the ER of duodenal SMTs and to assess possible predictive factors for complications and incomplete resection.

Methods

This retrospective study included 141 patients with duodenal SMTs. The therapeutic outcomes from ER and procedure-related complications were analyzed.

Results

Of the 141 patients, 78.7% achieved complete resection and nine (6.4%) developed complications. The multivariate analysis suggested that location near the duodenal papilla (P = 0.010) and diameter exceeding 15 mm (P = 0.091) of duodenal SMTs were independent risk factors for complications in ER. Besides, submucosal fibrosis (P = 0.042), location near the duodenal papilla (P = 0.049), and irregular morphology (P = 0.067) were independent risk factors for incomplete resection.

Conclusions

ER can be recommended as an effective and minimally invasive treatment for duodenal SMTs.
