Role of submucosal injection in radiofrequency ablation of gastric low-grade dysplasia:Effects on symptoms and outcomes

Background:To date,there is still a lack of standardized management strategies for gastric low-grade dysplasia(LGD),which is a direct neoplastic precancerous lesion and requires specifically superficial destruction.Radiofrequency ablation(RFA)is expected to be an effective method for gastric LGD,but post-RFA pain may affect patients'satisfaction and compliance.The current study aimed to evaluate the value of a submucosal injection prior to RFA(SI-RFA)for postoperative pain and treatment outcomes.Methods:Between October 2014 and July 2021,gastric LGDs without risk factors(size>2 cm,unclear boundary,and abnormal microsurface and microvascularity)undergoing regular RFA and SI-RFA were retrospectively analyzed.Postoperative pain scores,wound healing,and clinical efficacy were compared.Propensity score matching,stratified analysis,and multivariable logistic regression were performed to control the confounding variables.Results:One hundred and ninety-seven gastric LGDs in 151 patients received regular RFA.Forty-nine gastric LGDs in 36 patients received SI-RFA.Thirty-six pairs of patients were selected for the assessment of postoperative pain by propensity score matching.Compared to regular RFA,SI-RFA significantly decreased the degree and duration of postoperative pain(OR,0.32;95%CI,0.13-0.84;P=0.020),improved wound healing rate(80.0%[36/45]vs.58.9%[89/151],P=0.012),increased the complete ablation rate(91.8%[45/49]vs.86.3%[170/197],x2=1.094,P=0.295),but correlated with higher rates of local recurrence and progression(25.6%[10/39]vs.13.2%[18/136],x2=3.471,P=0.062;8.3%[3/36]vs.0.9%[1/116],P=0.042).The multivariable logistic regression model confirmed that submucosal injection was associated with local recurrence(OR,2.93;95%CI,1.13-7.58;P=0.027).Conclusions:Submucosal injections prior to RFA may reduce postoperative pain and scar formation while ensuring complete ablation of gastric LGD.However,local recurrence and progression should be considered seriously.
