Harold Jacob et al. Endoscopic submucosal dissection of cecal lesions in proximity to the appendiceal orifice


Quality:
This retrospective study shows effective and safe removal by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of 76 large cecal lesions close to the appendiceal orifice. A classification for lesions in this region and two ESD treatment strategies are proposed. En bloc and R0 resection rates were 94.7 % and 92.1 %, respectively. Two patients developed appendicitis, one of whom required emergency surgery.
