... after full-thickness resections, and has been associated with increased rates of permanent ostomy and worse quality of the TME specimen. This risk seems to be lower after muscle-sparing procedures like endoscopic submucosal dissection, which seem to show a benefit in comparison to full-thickness...

... as possible before resection. Furthermore, the correct choice of resection technique depending on the lesion must be taken into account. Endoscopic submucosal dissection is the standard for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastric carcinoma. In Western countries, it is becoming increasingly popular...

...) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a paradigm shift toward organ preservation has been initiated. These endoscopic methods, developed incrementally since the 1980s, have progressively enabled curative management of lesions with minimal morbidity, challenging the previously unchallenged domain of surgery...

... of CS-ESMR. Methods: In this retrospective study, 67 patients who underwent endoscopic treatment of rectal NETs from March 2017 to December 2021 were analyzed. According to the endoscopic resection methods (endoscopic mucosal resection [EMR], CS-ESMR, and endoscopic submucosal dissection [ESD...

... of visible lesions. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is feasible with comparable complication rates to EMR, but longer procedural times. It is still limited to EMR failures or suspected submucosal adenocarcinoma. Eradication of residual BE mainly relies on radiofrequency ablation, with over 90...

...Konstantinos Kouladouros; Jörg Baral Introduction: The resection of giant superficial neoplastic lesions of the rectum (>5 cm) is challenging even for experienced specialists. Endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) have...

...Franz Ludwig Dumoulin; Bernd Sido; Reinhard Bollmann; Malte Sauer Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) - initially developed for the treatment of early gastric cancer in Japan - is an attractive option for en bloc resection of larger sessile or flat colorectal neoplasia. Methods...
