Efficacy of endoscopic papillectomy for laterally spreading lesions compared to ampullary lesions, revealing critical insights.
Background and aims: Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is a standard treatment for ampullary lesions (AL), most of which are small and limited to the papillary mound. Laterally spreading lesions (LSL) of the papilla Vateri represent a rare subtype of AL, characterized by an extensive involvement of the surrounding duodenal mucosa. Data analyzing efficacy and complications of EP for LSL are scarce. In this study, EP for LSL were compared with non-LSL AL in thoroughly matched cohorts.
