Safety and Efficacy of Duodenal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for non-ampullary lesion: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors
Aims The indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have been constantly increasing since its introduction [1]. The duodenum represents a difficult endoscopic scenario due to its thin wall and the potential consequences of endoscopic adverse events [2] [3]. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the current state of the art.
Methods We performed a systematic review of EMBASE and MEDLINE databases up to 18th October 2024 according to PRISMA guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute methodologies. We included all studies on human endoscopy. Literature was searched to answer the following question: “Is it effective and safe to conduct endoscopic submucosal dissection in non-ampullary duodenal lesions?”. A pooled prognosis meta-analysis was performed. Risk of bias was evaluated according to GRADE. Separate sub-analysis on SNADET and western studies were performed. PROSPERO database (CRD42024517598).
Results After screening 514 papers, a total of 54 studies accounting for 3672 patients were included in a systematic review and meta-analysis. Mean age stood at 62.0 years (SD±0.8), the mean size of the resected NADL was 19.5mm (SD±1.2) and the mean procedure time was 59.8 min (SD±4.1). The efficacy and safety performance of ESD for non-ampullary duodenal lesions (NADL) were as follow: en-bloc 98.1% (95%CI 96.2-99.1), R0 86.3% (95%CI 82.0- 89.7%), intraprocedural perforation 8.5% (95%CI 6.4-11.2%), intraprocedural bleeding 0.01% (95%CI 0.001-0.1%), delayed perforation 2.0% (95%CI 1.3-3.1%), delayed bleeding 3.8% (95%CI 2.8-5.2%), need for surgery 1.2% (95%CI 0.6-2.5%). An overall low quantity of recurrence and mortality frequency was observed. Quality of evidence ranged from very low to moderate, most of the evidence came from Asian centres (48/54, 88.8%) and from retrospective single monocentric studies (45/84, 83.3%).
Conclusions ESD for NADL can be considered an alternative to standard techniques or surgery when en-bloc and R0 resection is requested. High experience and proficiency in this technique is required to replicate the outcomes found by this metanalysis.
