Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Nevertheless, several adverse events affect ESD, especially in the colon. They could be life-threatening, call for or prolong the hospitalization, require blood transfusion, additional endoscopic or surgical procedures and increase costs.
Thus, preventing these adverse events is an important clinical and medico-economic objective. Endoscopic closure of post-ESD defects could reduce this risk. However, closing these large defects with conventional clips can be difficult, unsuccessful and prolong the duration of the whole procedure. A new trough-the-scope suturing system could successfully provide a complete endoscopic closure of post-ESD defects in the colon in a reasonable time.
Expected benefits are a decrease of morbidity and costs related to colonic ESD procedure

Study Design
Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.
RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Considering an α risk set at 5%, a power set at 80%, given an expected complete resection rate of 70% in the control group and of 95% in the experimental group, 33 patients in each group are required. Thus, the investigators will enroll 66 subjects
TREATMENT
NONE
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ESD with clips
Closure of the defect will be performed at the end of the Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection procedure with clips (Boston scientific®). Pictures or movies of the closing defect will be necessary to independently confirm the complete closure.
No interventions assigned to this group
TTS suturing system
Closure of the defect will be performed at the end of the ESD procedure with a new TTS suturing system (X-Tack Boston scientific®). Pictures or movies of the closing defect will be necessary to independently confirm the complete closure.
TTS suturing system
The use of TTS suturing system could allow a quick, complete endoscopic closure of colonic post-ESD defects, providing relevant clinical and medico-economic benefits.
