Freestyle endoscopic submucosal dissection using a multifunctional snare

摘要

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an excellent treatment for superficial GI neoplasms because it allows en bloc resection, regardless of the lesion size. 1,2 Recently, a novel multifunctional snare (SOUTEN; Kaneka Medics, Tokyo, Japan) was introduced to enable successful hybrid ESD procedures. 3,4 Although this multifunctional snare was introduced for hybrid ESD, hybrid ESD involves partial submucosal dissection. We hypothesized that conventional ESD using this multifunctional snare would be a successful technique. we have previously reported the safety and efficacy of ESD using this multifunctional snare.
