Recent Advances in Endoscopic Treatment Techniques for Subepithelial Lesions

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

• Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are increasingly used for gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs).
• Traditional surgery is being replaced by endoscopic methods for diagnosing and treating gastric SELs.
• Endoscopic removal of gastric SELs is proven safe and effective, particularly for low-malignancy potential tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review current endoscopic treatments for gastric submucosal tumors.
• To highlight recent technological advancements in endoscopic procedures for gastric SELs.

Main Methods:

• Literature review of recent advancements in endoscopic techniques.
• Analysis of studies on the safety and efficacy of endoscopic SEL removal.
• Emphasis on technological innovations in endoscopic tools and procedures.

Main Results:

• Endoscopic techniques show greater adoption for diagnosing and treating gastric SELs.
• Endoscopic removal of gastric SELs demonstrates safety and efficacy.
• Improvements in endoscopic tools and procedures enhance therapeutic outcomes and reduce complications.

Conclusions:

• Endoscopic treatment is a viable and evolving alternative to surgery for gastric SELs.
• Ongoing technological advancements continue to refine endoscopic procedures for gastric submucosal tumors.
• Minimally invasive endoscopic approaches offer improved outcomes and safety profiles.
