A study on 141 patients with duodenal submucosal tumors (SMTs) explored the outcomes of endoscopic resection (ER). Results showed that 78.7% achieved complete resection, but 6.4% faced complications. High-risk factors for complications included SMTs near the duodenal papilla and those with a diameter exceeding 15mm. Additionally, submucosal fibrosis, SMTs near the duodenal papilla, and irregular morphology were found to be risk factors for incomplete resection. Despite challenges, ER can be an effective and minimally invasive treatment for duodenal SMTs, but careful consideration of these factors is essential.
