A circumferential rectal superficial neoplasm resected with endoscopic submucosal dissection using the pocket-creation method

چکیده
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recognized as an important technique in the nonsurgical management of early gastrointestinal carcinoma and it is continuously undergoing evolution in terms of technique and equipment. The pocket-creation method was recently developed for overcoming various difficulties such as large tumor size and severe fibrosis in ESD. Circumferential ESDs are rare and pose technical difficulties. We present a case of a circumferential rectal ESD using a pocket-creation method with two pockets. The associated planning, strategies, and outcome of the procedure are discussed.

"Underwater" endoscopic submucosal dissection: a novel technique for complete resection of a rectal neuroendocrine tumor.
Many techniques for endoscopic resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have been reported [1]. Among these, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has recently been applied [2]. Although ESD may have the advantage over conventional endoscopic mucosal resection of achieving a complete (R0) resection [3], the crush artifact caused by burn or coagulation from repeated exposure to electric...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced technique of therapeutic endoscopy alternative to endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms >2 cm. ESD allows for the direct dissection of the submucosa and large lesions can be resected en bloc. ESD is not limited by resection size, increases histologically complete resection rates and may redu...

A 78-year-old patient without relevant past medical history underwent colonoscopy for chronic diarrhea. Examination identified a laterally spreading tumor (LST), mixed-granular-type (nodules up to 1 cm) in the rectum, from the pectin line to the rectosigmoid transition. The LST covered 100% of the circumference of this segment (▶Fig. 1). Endoscopic evaluation was compatible with an adenomatous ...

Generally, lesions of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) 10 mm or smaller are less malignant and are indicated for endoscopic therapy. However, the vertical margin may remain positive after conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) because NETs develop in a way similar to submucosal tumors (SMTs). The usefulness of EMR with a ligation device, which is modified EMR, and endoscopic submuco...

tumor, which is occasionally found during screening colonoscopy. Tumors less than 1 cm in diameter and limited in depth to the submucosal layer can be managed by endoscopic treatment, several types of which have been reported for rectal carcinoid tumor [1,2]. Because carcinoid tumor extends to the submucosal layer, simple endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) will often leave tumor involvement in ...
