چکیده

submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment and enables en bloc resection of large le-sions. However, ESD is a technically demanding and time-consuming procedure. 1 Here, we report a " two-sword fencing " technique with an injection needle and an ESD knife. A 74-year-old man presented with a laterally spreading tumor (LST), 7 cm in diameter, on the right wall of the rectum, and occupying half of the colonic lumen on colonoscopy. The tumor extended distally to the dentate line. Histological examination of biopsy specimens indicated tubular adenoma. ESD of the rectal LST was carried out using a double-channel endoscope with a multibending system (GIF-2TQ260M; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Glycerol (Glyceol; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Tokyo, Japan) mixed with a small volume of epi-nephrine and indigo carmine dye was injected into the sub-mucosal layer with the injection needle (IFH-SG; Top Corp., Tokyo, Japan). ESD was performed with a dual knife (KD-650Q; Olympus). " Dual " refers to the two extension lengths of the cutting knife; it has no capacity for injection. The elec-trosurgical unit (VAIO300D; ERBE, Tubingen, Germany) was set as follows: drycut (effect 2, 30 W) for circumferential incision; and swift-coag (effect 4, 30 W) for dissection. For the " two-sword fencing " technique, an injection needle and an ESD knife were inserted through either channel of a double channel endoscope (Fig. 1). Using ESD, en bloc resection of the tumor was performed in 140 minutes. Histological examination of the resected tissue revealed well-differentiated mucosal adenocarcinoma. Both the vertical and horizontal margins were negative. Although flush knives (Fujifilm Medical, Tokyo, Japan) have a water-jet system that allows rapid needle-free infusion of solution into the submucosa, other knives such as the dual knife, flex knife, or hook knife lack this function. 2 Takeuchi et al. 3 compared the efficacy of flush knives with water-jet func-tionality to that of flex knives (electrosurgical endo-knife without a water-jet function). A total of 49 patients with superficial colorectal neoplasms were randomly assigned to undergo ESD using a flush knife or a flex knife. The median number of en-doscopic device changes was 22 (range, 8 to 44) in the flex knife group and 9 (range, 1 to 35) in the flush knife group (p< 0.0001). The mean operation time was 87.3 minutes (95% confidence interval [CI], 71.3 to 103.4) in the flex knife group and 61.0 minutes (95% CI, 49.3 to 72.7) in the flush knife …

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 ...
