Technical Aspects at the Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)

Abstract

Within the last years endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has established its role for the "en bloc" resection of even large mucosal precancerous or early cancerous lesions. However, there is little literature concerning devices and settings used for successful ESD. In the following article we give an overview on technical requirements and report on our own experiences over the last years.
