Abstract
Ten years have passed since esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was established, and now, specially designed equipment is available to help make esophageal ESD safer and easier. The advantage of ESD is the ability to achieve R0 resection, and a low local recurrence rate. However, esophageal ESD is technically more difficult than gastric ESD due to the narrower space of esophagus for endoscopic maneuvers. ESD for esophageal cancer is a procedure that requires high technical ability, and therefore, only operators who have adequate skills should perform esophageal ESD.
