Core Tip
Core Tip: Acute intestinal obstruction may occur as a severe complication following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The prognosis of ESD-related complications depends on the type and severity, as well as the timeliness and appropriateness of management. We report a very rare complication of ESD to enhance clinicians’ awareness of such events and to emphasize important procedural consideration for endoscopists.
