Comparisons between conventional ESD and ESD with TTSPS.
Conventional ESD | ESD with TTSPS | p value | |
---|---|---|---|
Median dissection time (min) (range) | 90 (30–320) | 60 (15–160) | 0.015 |
Median number of incidences of arterial bleeding (range) | 3 (0–25) | 2 (0–7) | 0.015 |
Median number of local injections (range) | 10 (3–51) | 8 (1–27) | 0.04 |
ESD: endoscopic submucosal dissection; NS: not significant; and TTSPS: thread-traction method using a sheath of polypectomy snare.
