Comparison of endoscopic submucosal dissection and transanal endoscopic surgery for the treatment of rectal neoplasia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Minimally invasive techniques offer alternatives to conventional surgery in the treatment of early-stage colorectal cancer, reducing morbidity. Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) and Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) are widely used, while Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is gaining attention for its ability to achieve complete resection with low recurrence rates. This study compares the efficacy and safety of ESD with Transanal Endoscopic Surgery (TES).

Methods

The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies involving patients with endoscopically resectable rectal lesions. Electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and LILACS. Outcomes included recurrence rate, complete resecti
