This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, examines the clinical course of intraprocedural perforation during gastric and colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The study analyzed 43 cases of perforation out of a total of 3251 ESD procedures performed between 2021 and 2023. The researchers categorized the cases into two groups based on the presence or absence of symptoms and found that the time required for closure of the perforation affected the appearance of postoperative symptoms. The study emphasizes the importance of promptly closing the perforation site for a good clinical outcome. [Extracted from the article]
