Assessment of the defect after endoscopic resection of colorectal neoplastic lesions is standard in routine endoscopy and instrumental in identifying deep muscular injury (DMI) up to frank perforation in need of immediate endoscopic closure. DMI involving the muscularis propria, classified as a Sydney III lesion, usually implies complete muscularis propria transection. By contrast, intramuscular resection with potential implications in terms of complication risks, such as rate of post-electrocautery syndrome, has not been reported before [1] (Fig. 1).
