PG - 16-21 LID - S0004-28032022000100016 [pii] LID - 10.1590/S0004-2803.202200001-04 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an easy-to-use treatment option for superficial colorectal lesions, including lesions >/=20 mm. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of EMR. METHODS: We evaluated 430 lesions removed by EMR in 404 patients. The lesions were analyzed according to their morphology, size, location, and histology. Lesions <20 mm were resected en bloc, whereas lesions >/=20 mm were removed by piecemeal EMR (p-EMR). Adverse events and recurrence were assessed. RESULTS: Regarding morphology, 145 (33.7%) were depressed lesions, 157 (36.5%) were polypoid lesions and 128 (29.8%) were laterally spreading lesions, with 361 (84%) lesions <20 mm and 69 (16%) >/=20 mm. Regarding histology, 413 (96%) lesions were classified as neoplastic lesions. Overall, 14 (3.3%) adverse reactions occurred, most commonly in lesions removed by p-EMR (P<0.001) and associated with advanced histology (P=0.008). Recurrence occurred in 14 (5.2%) cases, more commonly in lesions removed by p-EMR (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: EMR is an effective technique for the treatment of superficial colorectal lesions, even of large lesions.
