Innovative Endoscopic and Surgical Technology in the GI Tract

Abstract

Superficial cancers with negligible risk for lymph node metastasis can be cured by endoscopic local resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a conventional technique that can resect relatively small lesions by using a snare. In contrast, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can resect superficial lesions in an en bloc fashion irrespective of size or the presence of submucosal fibrosis, which has expanded the indication for endoscopic resection. Although endoscopic skill and sufficient knowledge of possible complications are required, ESD is a promising technique for organ preserving minimally invasive treatment due to its excellent clinical outcome and getting popular around the world.
