Summary
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is increasingly used for gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors. Improved closure devices allow for more complex endoscopic procedures with good outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) has gained significant attention.
- Advancements in endoscopic closure devices enable more complex procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To detail the procedural technique of EFTR.
- To evaluate the clinical outcomes of EFTR for gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors.
Main Methods:
- Focus on the procedural aspects of EFTR.
- Review of clinical outcomes associated with the technique.
Main Results:
- The article discusses the procedural technique.
- Clinical outcomes of EFTR for subepithelial tumors are presented.
Conclusions:
- EFTR is a viable endoscopic technique for gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors.
- Improved closure devices enhance the safety and efficacy of EFTR.
