Abstract
In Chap. 5 aspects of techniques in tunnel establishment are discussed: (1) Patient positions including left lateral position, supine position and supine position with right should lifted; (2) The location where the submucosal tunnel is established should be in line with the location of the lesion to be resected and have an appropriate distance from the margin of the targeted lesion; (3) The types of entry incision during esophageal tunnel technique generally include the transverse incision and the longitudinal incision, while the arc incision is a third mutated type of incision from tunnel technique. The different types of incisions are used in different cases and have different techniques of their sealing; (4) The healing process was related to the corresponding management measures before and after operation, mainly the operation related factors, food intake, medication and individual differences; (5) How to keep a relative aseptic operation not only concerns operation safety, but has a great influence on the further development of the technique.
