Purpose Almost any colorectal superficial neoplastic lesion can be treated by endoscopic resection (ER) but very little is known about outcomes of ER leaving circumferential or near-circumferential mucosal defects. We report the outcomes of ER leaving [greater than or equal to] 75% circumferential mucosal defects performed in a western expert centre. Methods Five hundred eighty-seven ERs of large colorectal lesions [greater than or equal to] 20 mm were grouped according to the extent of the mucosal defect and comparisons made between those with < 75% and [greater than or equal to] 75% defects. Independent predictors of stenosis were identified. Results Forty-seven patients had ER leaving [greater than or equal to] 75% circumference defect, most located at or distal to the rectosigmoid, with [greater than or equal to] 90% defects in 5 and 100% in 11. There were no significant colonic muscle injuries in patients with [greater than or equal to] 75% defect and no differences in post-procedure bleeding (OR 1.6, 95% CI 0.2-13.7, p = 0.64) between patients with [greater than or equal to] 75% and < 75% defects. Stenosis developed in 9 patients. [greater than or equal to] 90% circumference defect was the only independent risk factor for stenosis (OR 286, p < 0.001). Three of 4 patients with asymptomatic stenosis had successful expectant management. The remainder were treated with dilatation. Recurrence was more likely in those with [greater than or equal to] 75% defect (OR 7.9, 95% CI 3.8-16.4, p < 0.001) but was managed with further ER in all but 2 cases. Conclusion ER of colorectal lesions resulting in defects [greater than or equal to] 75% of the luminal circumference is challenging but safe and effective when performed in an expert centre. The only independent predictor of stenosis is [greater than or equal to] 90% circumference defect but some patients improve with expectant management; therefore, pre-emptive intervention may not be warranted.
