Abstract
As in the rest of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) techniques are used to address premalignant lesions and early cancers in the esophagus. The latter has been described as one of the most complex interventional procedures in endoscopy to date. Even though the technique of ESD shares common ground throughout the GI tract, there are some nuances to esophageal ESD based mainly on anatomical differences between different luminal organs (e.g., thickness of the muscularis propria, lumen size, and access issues). In this chapter, we will describe these and highlight some of the peculiarities in the esophagus.
