ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Currently, endoscopic resection of duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs) is a challenging procedure with a high risk of perforation.

Research motivation

It is importance to deal with perforation after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs. However, so far, there were few reports on endoscopic methods for management of perforations.

Research objectives

We aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of over-the-scope clip (OTSC) in the closing the perforation after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs.

Research methods

This was a retrospective study. We collected data of 18 consecutive patients who were treated with OTSCs to close the perforation after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs and analyzed the rate of complete resection, closure of intraprocedural perforation, delayed bleeding, delayed perforation, and postoperative infection.

Research results

All the perforations after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs were successfully closed. No delayed bleeding or perforation occurred in any of the patients.

Research conclusions

OTSC can effectively and safely close the perforations after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs by an experienced endoscopist.

Research perspectives

We need to expand the sample size to confirm further the effectiveness and safety of OTSC in closing the perforation after endoscopic resection of duodenal SELs. In addition, the long-term outcome of OTSC should be observed by extending the follow-up time.
