Endoscopic suturing for mucosal defect closure following endoscopic submucosal dissection: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for gastrointestinal lesions. It carries potential risks such as bleeding and perforation. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of endoscopic suturing, a promising technique for closing mucosal defects post-ESD. Methods: We reviewed several databases, including MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase up to May 1,2023. We aimed at identifying original studies that provided insightful data on the use of endoscopic suturing in reducing complications post-ESD. Results: In our study, we evaluated 426 publications and included 10 studies involving a total of 284 patients. The pooled technical s
