About this study

The investigators collected data on all consecutive patients who underwent ESD for recto-sigmoid laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) >35 mm under SA between January 2021 and March 2024. The investigators evaluated the technical success and safety of SA in terms of ARAEs, and pain, measured via visual assessment scale (VAS).

Read the detailed description

Background and study aim: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of large colorectal lesions requires the patient to be in a still position for a long time. Both deep sedation and general anesthesia carry a substantial risk of anesthesia-related adverse events (ARAEs), especially in frail patients. Conversely, mild-to-moderate sedation does not prevent involuntary movements of the patient. Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a safe and simple technique that provides analgesia and motor block without systemic drug administration or orotracheal intubation. As the use of SA in colorectal endoscopic resections has not been described so far, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of SA in large (>35 mm) recto-sigmoid lesion ESD.

Patients and methods: The investigators collected data on all consecutive patients who underwent ESD for recto-sigmoid laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) >35 mm under SA between January 2021 and March 2024. The investigators evaluated the technical success and safety of SA in terms of ARAEs, and pain, measured via visual assessment scale (VAS). The secondary endpoints were as follows: intra- and post-procedural need for additional opioid or other analgesic drug administration, ESD-related adverse eventss, length of hospital stay, and median ESD duration.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection under spinal anesthesiaWe collected data on all consecutive patients who underwent ESD for recto-sigmoid laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) >35 mm under SA. SA was carried out in a sitting position, following a strictly aseptic technique. After recognition of L2-L3 intervertebral space through landmark technique, a 25 Gauge needle was inserted and the correct positioning was confirmed by detecting free flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Subsequently, 10-12 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine + sufentanil 2 mcg according to the decision of the anesthetist was administered intrathecally without barbotage. Subsequently, the patient underwent ESD of the colorectal lesion.
Receives: Procedure: ESD of large LSTs under SA

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Technical success of ESD under SA

    Technical success was defined as completion of the ESD under SA without the need of conversion to deep sedation or general anesthesia.

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

  2. Safety of ESD under SA

    Safety was evaluated intra- and post-procedurally by recording anesthesia-related adverse events (ARAEs). Major ARAEs included death, anaphylaxis and severe cardiorespiratory or neurologic AEs. Minor ARAEs included any other cardiorespiratory or neurologic AEs, headache, acute urinary retention and itching.

    Measured: periprocedurally

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Intra- and post-procedural need for additional opioid or other analgesic drug administration

    Intra- and post-procedural need for additional opioid or other analgesic drug administration

    Measured: periprocedurally

  2. ESD- and colonoscopy-related AEs

    Perforation, bleeding, post-coagulation syndrome, adverse events related to endoscopic bowel preparation

    Measured: periprocedurally

  3. Length of hospital stay

    length of hospital stay

    Measured: At delivery

  4. Median ESD duration

    Median ESD duration

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal (Colon or Rectal) Cancer, run by Azienda USL Modena at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Technical success of ESD under SA (time frame: Immediately after the procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2024.
