Endoscopic submucosal dissection for colorectal lesions in elderly patients / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for elderly patients(≥60 years old)with colorectal lesions.Methods Data of 31 elderly patients(≥60 years old)and 23 non-elderly(0.05 ). Thirty-two lesions in elderly group and twenty-five lesions in non-elderly group were all curative resection.En bloc resection rates were 96.9%(31 /32)and 96.0%(24 /25)in the elderly group and non-elderly group respectively;the rates of bleeding during ESD procedure were 3.2%(1 /31 )and 4.3%(1 /23);delayed bleeding rates were 12.9%(4 /31)and 13.0%(3 /23);the rates of perforation was 12.9%(4 /31)and 0;postoperative infection rates were 3.2%(1 /31)and 4.3%(1 /23)respectively.There were no statistical differences between the two groups in any of these data (P >0.05 ).The mean time of follow-up were (14.8 ±1.7)months in elderly group and (14.7 ±1.8)months in non-elderly group,and there was no significant difference between two groups.No residual lesion or recurrent lesion was found in the follow-up period.Conclusion ESD is a safe and effective treatment for the elderly patients with colorectal lesion.
