Brief Summary

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is the main treatment option for rectal tumors such as large adenoma, early cancer because of lower complications and mortality rates and shorter hospital stays rather than conventional surgery. Particularly, However, transanal endoscopic microsurgerymust be performed under either general or spinal anesthesia, and expensive surgical instruments are required. Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection is a novel endoscopic procedure that enables en bloc resection of benign colorectal lesions and early colorectal cancer. Endoscopic submucosal dissectioncan be performed under conscious sedation without anesthesia, and there are fewer hospital days than those for transanal endoscopic microsurgery. In the present study, we compared the treatment efficacy and safety between endoscopic submucosal dissectionand transanal endoscopic microsurgery for the treatment of early rectal neoplasms and large rectal adenomas.

Study Arms (2)

transanal endoscopic microsurgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

a TEM tube will be inserted in the rectum. With specialized instruments the adenoma will be dissected en bloc by a full thickness excision, after which the patient will be admitted to the hospital.

Procedure: transanal endoscopic microsurgery

endoscopic submucosal dissection

EXPERIMENTAL

an endoscope will be inserted into the rectum and the submucosa underneath the lesion will be injected with saline to lift the adenoma. With an endoscopic knife (Insulated Tip Knife, Olympus or Water Jet, Erbe) the lesion will be resected through the submucosal plane in an eb-bloc fashion, after which the patient will be observed for at least 24h in-hospital.
