Safety of sedation-free endoscopic submucosal dissection of colon lesions: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has emerged as an effective technique for the en bloc and curative removal of sizable colorectal tumors. Despite ESD's advantages over traditional surgery, its primary associated complications of perforation and hemorrhage pose significant challenges. Sedation-free ESD allows for real-time reporting of symptoms by patients, improving the identification and management of complications. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of sedation-free ESD.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing sedation-free ESD for colorectal lesions at a tertiary center in Taiwan from 2018 to 2023. Patient demographics, lesion characteristics, procedure time, and clinical outcomes were collected. The primary outcome was safe
