Brief summary

To avoid complications secondary to advanced endoscopic resection techniques (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection -EMR- or Endoscopic Submucosal Disection -ESD-) the endoscopists have to avoid deep thermal damage and increase mucosal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical endoscopic resection models.

Detailed description

Background:To avoid complications secondary to advanced endoscopic resection techniques (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection -EMR- or Endoscopic Submucosal Disection -ESD-) the endoscopists have to avoid deep thermal damage and increase mucosal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical endoscopic resection models. Aim: Evaluate the efficacy of PRP on participants submitted to advanced endoscopic resection techniques: EMR or ESD. Material and Methods: The investigators have evaluated a prospective clinical study. The investigators have included 12 participants submitted to EMR or ESD. Patients were informed and accepted to participate with a written consent. Prior to endoscopy PRP was obtained from autologous blood with a comercial kit. Submucosal injection with PRP were performed prior to resection. Resection was performed with standard technique. Participants were followed-up after the procedure.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Prevention of delayed bleeding: percentage of participants with delayed bleeding28 days after resectionDelayed bleeding occurs between 13-15% of patients submitted to advanced resection techniques. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PRP in the prevention of this complication
Prevention of coagulation syndrome (or postpolipectomy syndrome): percentage of participants with coagulation syndrome5 days after resectionCoagulation syndrome occurs in around 5-7% of patients submitted to EMR or ESD. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of PRP in the prevention of this complication
