چکیده
An 80-year-old woman was diagnosed of a 10 cm colorectal laterally spreading tumor granular-type in the splenic flexure (Fig. 1). Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed but pediatric colonoscope approach (PCF-Q260JI, Olympus, Japan) was technically difficult due to the narrow transverse colon working space. Then, single-balloon endoscopy system using a 3.2 mm channel gastroscope (GIF-Q260J, Olympus, Japan) (total length: 1,350 mm, outer diameter: 9.9 mm) and a 770 mm balloon overtube (outer/inner diameter: 16.2/13.8 mm) (ST-CB1, Olympus, Japan) was carried out. The balloon was inflated near the distal tumor location and a traction clip attached by a nylon line was effectively used. Finally, Successful balloon overtube-guided colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection by a gastroscope
