Core Tip

Core Tip: Generally, multi-day (M-D) admission is required for patients with early gastrointestinal neoplasia undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) due to potential complications. We evaluated the feasibility of a same-day (S-D) discharge strategy for ESD of the esophagus or stomach. No significant difference was found between the S-D and M-D groups with respect to intraoperative and postprocedural major adverse events. However, the S-D group demonstrated a significantly shorter length of hospital stay (P < 0.001) and lower overall medical expenses (P < 0.001) compared to the M-D group. The S-D discharge strategy may be feasible and effective for esophagogastric ESD.
