ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Management of recurrent ampullary adenomas after endoscopic papillectomy is still controversial. Some patients have to receive repetitive endoscopic interventions due to the limitations of conventional endoscopic techniques.

Research motivation

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal neoplasms, as well as an appropriate technique for resection locally remnant and recurrent lesions. At present, ESD is rarely used in the treatment of duodenal papillary lesions by duodenoscope due to the complex anatomy of duodenal papilla and technical difficulties.

Research objectives

In this retrospective study, we report our preliminary experience of hybrid ESD by duodenoscope combined with biliary and pancreatic stent placement for recurrent, laterally spreading, duodenal papillary lesions.

Research methods

Two patients with recurrent, laterally spreading, papillary adenomas underwent hybrid ESD by duodenoscope and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Outcomes, including endoscopic and histopathological characteristics, time of hybrid ESD and ERCP procedures, en bloc resection, procedure-related complications, and hospital stay were recorded.

Research results

Hybrid ESD using duodenoscope and subsequent biliary and pancreatic stent placement was performed successfully for both patients. The endoscopic size of recurrent papillary lesions was no more than 2 cm. No serious complications occurred during the intraoperative and postoperative periods. Histopathological examination revealed tubulovillous adenoma negative for neoplastic extension at the cut margin in both patients. No recurrence were observed during follow-up.

Research conclusions

Hybrid ESD by duodenoscope is technically challenging, and may be curative for recurrent, laterally spreading papillary adenomas < 2 cm.

Research perspectives

Hybrid ESD by duodenoscope should be performed cautiously in selected patients by experienced endoscopists. A prospective study should be conducted to compare hybrid ESD with conventional endoscopic techniques to gain more evidence.
