Endoscopic resection for subepithelial lesions—pure endoscopic full-thickness resection and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection

Submucosal Endoscopic Tumor Resection

Endoscopic full-thickness resection of a submucosal right colon lesion.

A novel endoscopic full-thickness resection device (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) has been developed based on the combination of an overthe-scope clip with an enlarged resection cap (21mm) and a snare preloaded in the distal rim of the cap [1,2]. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of abdominal panniculitis with fat necrosis and perivasculitis with giant cell histioc...

Endoscopic Resection of Subepithelial Tumors

Subepithelial tumors (SETs) are often incidentally found during endoscopic examinations. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a good method for differential diagnosis of SETs, but a definite diagnosis cannot be made based on EUS features alone in some cases. Periodic follow-up examinations by endoscopy and EUS remains the recommended management strategy, which involves issues related to patient ...

An Effective Technique for Endoscopic Resection of Advanced Stage Angiofibroma

Introduction: In recent years, the surgical management of angiofibroma has been greatly influenced by the use of endoscopic techniques. However, large tumors that extend into difficult anatomic sites present major challenges for management by either endoscopy or an open-surgery approach which needs new technique for the complete en block resection.   Materials and Methods: In a prospective obse...

Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection for multiple esophageal leiomyomas.

A 61-year-old man presented for treatment of esophageal submucosal tumors (SMTs). The SMTs had been found 1month previously at his local hospital during a health examination. Upon presentation, his physical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed two protruded lesions in the middle of the esophagus (●" Fig.1; ●" Video1). Endoscopic ultrasono...
