Comparison of treatment outcomes between grasping forceps assisted endoscopic resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection groups


GF-ER
ESD
P value
Procedure time, min
Median (IQR) 4.0 (3.0-5.0) 55.0 (30-105) < 0.01
En bloc resection, n (%) 9 (100) 63 (100) 1.0
R0 resection, n (%) 9 (100) 62 (98.4) 1.0
Curative resection, n (%) 9 (100) 55 (87.3) 0.54
Perforation, n (%) 0 (0) 5 (8.0) 1.0
Delayed bleeding, n (%) 0 (0) 1 (1.6) 1.0

P values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test for categorical data and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data. GF-ER: Grasping forceps assisted endoscopic resection; ESD: Endoscopic submucosal dissection; IQR: Interquartile range.
