Moreover, it is uncertain whether optimal ESD outcome benchmarks for superficial gastric lesions can be achieved outside Asian countries. We aimed to determine gastric ESD optimal proficiency benchmarks of a Western endoscopist to guide the development of training programs in Western countries. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive ESDs performed by a single operator in Bogota, DC, Colombia. ESD was performed in 122 lesions: 104 mucosal (43% low-grade and high-grade dysplasia, 36% well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 15% moderate and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, and 6% large hyperplastic lesions) and 18 submucosal. We estimated case volumes required to achieve acceptable and optimal proficiency benchmarks (85-95% and >95% for en bloc resection, 80-90% and >90% for histologic margin-negative (R0) resection, and adverse events 8-16%. and <8%) and determine the number of cases needed to obtain a steady maximal procedural speed.}, publisher = {Universidad de La Sabana}, title = {Optimal gastric ESD benchmarks :The learning curve of an untutored Western endoscopist}, author = {Emura Perlaza, Fabián Arturo and Barrera León, Oscar Javier and Rodríguez Reyes, Carlos Iván and Giraldo Cadavid, Luis Fernando and Duran Becerra, Vanessa Katherine and Arrieta García, Manuel Ramiro and Petano Romero, Francisco Andrés and Hernández Dinas, Diego Andrés and Calderón Zapata, Douvan Andrés}, }
