Long transparent cap-assisted clip closure technique: a new choice for gastrointestinal defect closure.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel long transparent cap-assisted clip closure technique in closing gastrointestinal defects.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of patients who underwent endoscopic resection for gastric submucosal tumors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to November 2023. Patients were categorized into the Long Transparent Cap-Assisted Clip Closure group (LTCCC group) and the Purse-String Suture group (PSS group) based on the method of wound closure after ER. Primary outcomes included closure success rates and closure time, and secondary outcomes covered postoperative hospital stays, occurrence of adverse events, tumor characteristics, and follow-up status.
