Summary

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) offers a nonsurgical treatment for superficial gastrointestinal lesions. This technique, aided by endoscopic ultrasonography, enables early cancer detection and resection, with GI endoscopy nurses playing a key role.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a significant advancement for treating superficial esophageal, gastric, and colonic lesions.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography enhances EMR by enabling accurate diagnosis, depth assessment, and resection of submucosal tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To inform gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy nurses and assistants about Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR).
  • To detail the indications, procedures, necessary accessories, resection methods, potential complications, and nursing care associated with EMR.

Main Methods:

  • EMR utilizes endoscopic techniques to remove superficial gastrointestinal lesions.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography is integrated for precise lesion evaluation and guidance during resection.

Main Results:

  • EMR provides a nonsurgical outpatient option for managing gastrointestinal lesions, including early cancers.
  • The technique is widely adopted in regions with high superficial neoplasia incidence, though US data is limited.

Conclusions:

  • EMR is a valuable tool for detecting and resecting early gastrointestinal cancers and other superficial lesions.
  • Effective EMR relies on the expertise of GI endoscopy nurses and assistants in procedure management and patient care.
