Closing muscular and mucosal defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is challenging. A through-the-scope (TTS) tack system effectively closed combined defects after ESD for a cecal lesion, preventing complications.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Endoscopic Surgery
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Closure of muscular and mucosal defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) presents a significant technical challenge.
- Inadequate defect closure can elevate the risk of delayed gastrointestinal perforation.
- Right-sided colonic lesions often pose unique challenges for endoscopic management.
