This study assessed the usefulness of a device delivery station system (DDSS) to evaluate the appropriate and rapid PGAs coat- ing method with DDSS. Methods Thirty-nine of 41 patients who were diagnosed with early gastric cancer over 20 mm in diameter and pathologi- cally diagnosed with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma were randomly allocated to the following two groups according to delivery method: the conventional PGAs delivery group (C group) (n = 19) and the new DDSS group (DDSS group) (n = 20). The primary outcome was the coating area per minute in the C group and DDSS group (cm /min). Results There were significant differences in the coating time (min), with values of 34.1 (15.0–60.7) vs. 16.85 (11.5–27.2) min for the C group and DDSS group, respectively (p = 0.001). There was also a significant difference in coating area per minute, with values of 0.261 (0.02–1.00) and 0.96 (0.173–2.06) cm /min for the C group and DDSS group, respectively (p = 0.001). There were four cases of post-ESD bleeding (1–7 days TI - Efficacy of innovative polyglycolic acid sheet device delivery station system: a randomized prospective study JF - Surgical Endoscopy DO - 10.1007/s00464-017-6019-6 DA - 2018-01-08 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/efficacy-of-innovative-polyglycolic-acid-sheet-device-delivery-station-Y01nuSCbA4 SP - 3076 EP - 3086 VL - 32 IS - 7 DP - DeepDyve ER -
