The Effect of Clip-traction on ESD Resection Time.

Patients scheduled for an endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) in the colorectum will be randomized to the use of a traction device(consisting of an endoscopic clip with a loop of dental floss secured in the lesion to be removed, another clip will anchor the loop to adjacent bowel wall) or a standard ESD.

About this study

Patients with an adenoma or an early colorectal cancer treatable with endoscopic submucosal dissection will be randomized to the use of a traction device or a standard ESD. Location, morphology and size of the lesion will be recorded. Time of the procedure will be measured using a stopwatch

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • a lesion in the colon or rectum suitable for removal by the ESD technique

Exclusion criteria

  • dementia
  • inability to understand the written study information

Treatment and study plan

clip-traction

Device

A endoscopic clip with a loop of tied dental floss will be attached to the lesion. The loop will then be caught by another endoscopic clip and attached to adjacent bowel wall, thus creating tension in the tissue, making dissection easier.

Primary outcomes

  1. Resection speed (mm2/min)

    Time frame: Within completion of procedure

    Measured as area of the removed lesion divided by procedure time.
