Abstract:
Different substances are used for submucosal injection in order to perform a safe endoscopic mucosal resection. Viscous solutions such as sodium hyaluronate are currently considered as the first line substances for submucosal injection. This product produces a durable lifting of the mucosa. However, this solution is expensive and only available in Japan. We report on the use of off-label 0.4 % sodium hyaluronate teardrops as a substance for submucosal injection.
