Recurrence rate and management after endoscopic papillectomy in a tertiary referral center

Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is considered a safe procedure for ampullary lesions. Few data are available on management of residual and recurrent adenomas. The aims of the present study were to evaluate long-term recurrence rate, median time-to-recurrence after EP and treatment of both residual and...

Description
Summary:Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is considered a safe procedure for ampullary lesions. Few data are available on management of residual and recurrent adenomas. The aims of the present study were to evaluate long-term recurrence rate, median time-to-recurrence after EP and treatment of both residual and recurrent adenomas. Consecutive patients who underwent EP of major and minor papilla at our endoscopy center between 2011 and 2022 were enrolled. Residual adenoma was defined as the endoscopic evidence of adenomatous tissue after EP. Recurrent adenoma was defined as the presence of adenomatous tissue after the first endoscopic follow-up and complete adenoma resection. 95 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. Pathology after resection showed adenoma with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in 52 patients, high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in 25 patients, adenocarcinoma in 6 patients, NET in 4 patients and not-neoplastic duodenal mucosa in 8 patients. Adverse events occurred in 25 % of patients. The median follow-up after EP was 22.5 months. Local residual was observed in 27 patients (28,4 %) and recurrence after the endoscopic retreatments occurred in 11 patients (11,6 %). Furthermore, recurrence occurred in 16 of 68 patients with adenoma-free after a first endoscopic follow-up and 9 patients developed at least a second recurrence. All the recurrences but one were endoscopically treated. EP and its ancillary treatments for residual and recurrent adenomas is an effective treatment for ampullary tumors. Long-term surveillance demonstrates that recurrences can be mainly treated endoscopically.
