Prospective single-arm trial on feasibility and safety of an endoscopic robotic system for colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development of the EndoMaster "Endoluminal Access Surgical Efficacy" (EASE) system aims to enhance the safety and efficacy of colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) through two flexible robotic arms. This is the first clinical trial to evaluate the performance of colorectal ESD using EndoMaster.

Method

Patients with early mucosal colorectal neoplasia that was not suitable for en bloc resection with snare-based techniques were recruited. The EndoMaster EASE robotic system consisted of an independently designed flexible robotic platform with two robotic arms. The primary outcome was the complete resection rate using EndoMaster. Secondary outcomes included operating time, hospital stay, procedure-related complications, and oncologic outcomes.
