Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) demonstrates impressive technical and clinical success rates for closing defects, with a 96.2% technical success and 97.9% in-hospital clinical success across 338 procedures.
- The overall defect closure rate was 96.7%, with a median suturing time of 25 minutes.
- Adverse events were low, occurring in just 1.5% of cases.
These findings suggest that EHS is a reliable option for managing endoscopic defects, although more research is needed for complex cases.
