Abstract
The digestive tract is not a sterile environment, and the intact gastrointestinal mucosa is an important barrier against infection. Tunnel technique establishes a tunnel through submucosal dissection so that the digestive tract endoscopy can approach the muscularis propria or even beyond for treatment without strict sterilization. According to the standard classification of surgical incision, the incision established by tunneling technique is a secondary incision, namely a cleaning-contamination incision, which increases the probability of infection. Thus, working to decrease the incidence of infection is of extreme importance. This chapter introduces the prevention and treatment of submucosal tunnel Infection.
