Abstract
BACKGROUND Large polyps have a higher risk of muscle retracting sign (MRS) positivity and display higher incomplete resection rates by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Techniques used are pocket creation methods and circumferential excision with traction application. This is a pilot study aiming to explore the efficacy and safety of a new ESD technique for MRS+ lesions. METHODS First, a 5-cm-long tunnel is created distally from the lesion, stabilizing the scope and enabling a deeper, flatter dissection plane. As the resection nears the lesion's center with suspected MRS, a local pocket is made for circular access to the muscle retraction tip. Effective gravity management is key for procedure success. Initially working against gravity (or opposite to the direction of gravity) allows better submucosal exposure. Subsequently, patient position is adjusted to allow the specimen to be pulled by gravity towards the dissection line. As a result, the altered position loosens the muscle layer, thereby reducing the tension at the MRS site and ultimately the perforation risk. Finally, a circumferential "360° dissection" is performed, with prophylactic coagulation applied at the muscle retraction tip to minimize bleeding from large feeding vessels. RESULTS Our cases series consists of 18 patients who underwent ESD for MRS+ colonic (3/18) and rectal (15/18) giant (> 4 cm) lesions, with en bloc and R0 resection documented in 16/18(89%) cases. Two patients were referred to surgery because of massive MRS+ and high risk of severe intraprocedural bleeding. CONCLUSIONS This case series demonstrates the efficacy of the aforementioned technique, yielding satisfactory results in the majority of cases-even those without curative resection. The application of this technique not only in giant rectal polyps but also in colonic protruding lesions amplifies the significance of the proposal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced technique that can provide successful 'en-bloc' and R0 resection rate for large gastrointestinal lesions. To date, several ESD techniques have been proposed, but their comparative efficacy is still unclear. METHODS Major databases were systematically searched for RCTs comparing the efficacy and safety of different ESD techniques for the resection of colonic lesions. The primary outcomes were 'en-bloc' and R0 resection rates. The secondary outcome was the incidence of procedure-related AEs. RESULTS After selection of studies, 9 RCTs were included in the systematic review. On network meta-analysis for 'en-bloc' resection, pocked with traction ESD (PT-ESD) (RR=1.02; 95%CI=0.96-1.07) and pocket ESD (P-ESD) (RR=1.02; 95%CI=0.98-1.05) showed higher efficacy, whereas hybrid ESD (H-ESD) (RR=0.94; 95%CI=0.87-1.02) lower efficacy compared to conventional ESD (C-ESD). With regard to R0 resection, PT-ESD (RR=1.05; 95%CI=0.96-1.16) showed higher efficacy, and H-ESD (RR=0.97; 95%CI=0.84-1.13) lower efficacy compared to C-ESD. Concerning safety PT-ESD (RR=0.35; 95%CI=0.05-2.48) was associated with lower incidence of AEs, and H-ESD (RR=1.22; 95%CI=0.30-5.01) with higher incidence of AEs, compared to C-ESD. CONCLUSIONS The results of this network meta-analysis show a trend towards greater effectiveness and safety of PT-ESD for the removal of colonic lesions. H-ESD was associated with worse results and should be reserved as a rescue treatment, preferring other techniques.

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) for the Management of Fibrotic Non-Lifting Colorectal Lesions (NLCLs): Results from a Large Multicenter Retrospective Study. Cancers (Basel) 2025; 17:1242. [PMID: 40227777 PMCID: PMC11987842 DOI: 10.3390/cancers17071242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2025] [Revised: 02/21/2025] [Accepted: 02/23/2025] [Indexed: 04/15/2025] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The management of non-lifting colorectal lesions (NLCLs), often resulting from previous unsuccessful treatments or biopsies, remains challenging due to submucosal fibrosis that prevents adequate lifting. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a viable option for achieving complete resection in such cases. However, when standard ESD is not feasible, conversion to hybrid ESD (H-ESD) has been proposed as a rescue strategy. This study aimed to assess ESD's feasibility, effectiveness, and safety for NLCLs, including cases requiring conversion to H-ESD, when performed by experienced endoscopists in tertiary referral centers. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, data from patients with NLCLs treated by ESD/H-ESD between January 2009 and September 2022 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was the recurrence rate (RR). Secondary endpoints included the adverse event (AE) rate, technical success (TS) rate (en bloc resection regardless of technique), complete resection (CR), curative resection (cR) rates, and surgical intervention rate. Predictors of ESD technical success were identified. Results: In total, 178 patients with NLCLs were included (52 previously biopsied, 126 recurrent after previous resection). ESD was used in 111 (62.4%) and H-ESD in 67 (37.6%) cases. During a median follow-up of 373 days (IQR 540), the overall RR was 3.6%. The overall AE rate was 13.4%, and perforation was the most frequent (8.4%). All AEs were successfully managed endoscopically. The TS rate was 71.9%, significantly higher in previously biopsied lesions compared to recurrent ones (78.8% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.04). On multivariate analysis, rectal location (p < 0.001), F1 fibrosis (p = 0.026), and previously biopsied lesions (p = 0.006) predicted ESD TS without the need for conversion to H-ESD. Conclusions: ESD/H-ESD is feasible and safe for NLCLs when performed by experienced operators, with low RR amenable to endoscopic treatment. Previously biopsied lesions, rectal location, and low fibrosis predict ESD TS.

Abstract
Aims Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a standard treatment for superficial colorectal neoplasms worldwide. However, challenges remain in achieving dissection at the precise layer. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a novel ESD technique involving natural traction, referred to as the bridge formation method (BFM). Methods and Results The two main features of the BFM are creating a large mucosal flap and leaving normal mucosa on both sides of the lesion until the bridge is made at the end of the procedure. This retrospective study included consecutive patients with 2647 colorectal lesions resected by ESD from September 2003 to December 2023. We divided them into the BFM group and the non-BFM group and conducted propensity score matching.After propensity score matching, 1648 cases were enrolled (824 cases in each group). The en bloc resection rate was significantly higher in the BFM than non-BFM group (99.6% vs. 96.7%, p < 0.01). The R0 resection rate and the average dissection speed (㎟/min) were significantly higher in the BFM than non-BFM group (98.8% vs. 96.4%, p < 0.01, and 18.9 vs. 18.0, p = 0.03). The occurrence rates of perforation and delayed bleeding showed no significant difference between the non-BFM and BFM groups (2.8% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.40, and 1.1% vs. 1.0%, p = 1.00). Conclusions The BFM is a suitable method for colorectal ESD as it enables rapid dissection and improves both en bloc resection and R0 resection rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the pocket-creation method (PCM) with the conventional method of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for cecal and ascending colon lesion resection. METHODS The data of patients who underwent ESD for cecal or ascending colon lesions were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the PCM group and the conventional group according to the method of ESD. Baseline data, endoscopic characteristics, dissection speed, pathological results and adverse events were compared between the two groups. Dissection speed was also analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 122 patients were included. The dissection speed in the PCM group was higher than in the conventional group (0.20 [0.11, 0.32] cm2/min vs. 0.12 [0.08, 0.20] cm2/min, Z = -2.813, p = 0.005). The proportion of patients with injury to the muscularis propria layer in the PCM group was lower than in the conventional group, though the difference was not significant (19.4% vs. 29.1%, χ2 = 1.215, p = 0.270). The univariate analysis showed that low body mass index (BMI), use of the PCM, long lesion diameter, large lesion area, and minimal fibrosis were independent risk factors for fast dissection (all p < 0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that high dissection speed was associated with the choice to use the PCM, longer lesion diameter, and no fibrosis. CONCLUSION For cecal and ascending colon lesions, the PCM is a better choice than the conventional method, especially in patients with fibrosis, and large lesion area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive technique for the resection of superficial gastrointestinal lesions, providing high rates of 'en bloc' and R0 resection. East-West differences in ESD quality indicators have been reported. This study aims to assess feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of ESD for the treatment of superficial gastrointestinal (GI) lesions in a Western cohort. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing ESD at one Italian endoscopic referral center from September 2018 to March 2020 were included in this prospective study. Primary outcomes were technical success, R0 resection rate, curative resection rate, and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS In total 111 patients (111 lesions) undergoing ESD were included. Anatomic site of the lesions was rectum in 56.8%, colon in 13.5%, stomach in 24.3%, and esophagus in 5.4% of cases, respectively. For upper GI procedures, technical success was 100%, and R0 and curative resection rates were 84.8% and 78.8%, respectively. For colorectal procedures, technical success was 98.7%, R0 and curative resection rates were 88.5% and 84.6%, respectively. Major AEs were reported in 12 cases (10.8%). CONCLUSION The introduction of ESD in a Tertiary Center is feasible, effective, and safe, and should be taken into consideration for the treatment of superficial GI lesions requiring 'en bloc' resection.

A prospective randomized trial comparing the pocket-creation method and conventional method of endoscopic submucosal dissection in early gastric cancers and precancerous lesions. J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 28:1385-1391. [PMID: 38636721 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used as a standard treatment regimen for early gastric cancers (EGCs). However, such an approach is time consuming and has a high risk of perforation and bleeding in some corner-site lesions because of the obscured view and difficulty in submucosal lifting. The newly developed pocket-creation method (PCM) provides a clearer view and better traction of the submucosal layer than conventional ESD (c-ESD). Nevertheless, no prospective randomized study has evaluated the efficacy of the PCM in EGCs and precancerous lesions. METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients with superficial gastric neoplastic lesions ≥ 20 mm were randomly assigned to the PCM-ESD group or c-ESD group. The primary outcome was dissection speed. RESULTS There were 28 patients in the PCM-ESD group and 27 in the c-ESD group. The median dissection speed was significantly higher in the PCM-ESD group than in the c-ESD group (21.5 mm2/min vs 14.3 mm2/min, P < .001). Meanwhile, the operation time in the PCM-ESD group was significantly shorter than that in the c-ESD group (30 vs 40 min, P = .047). In multiple linear regression analysis, the treatment method was independently associated with the resection speed of ESD. CONCLUSION PCM-ESD was an effective and safe treatment for EGCs and precancerous lesions.

Abstract
Up to 15% of colorectal polyps are amenable for conventional polypectomy. Advanced endoscopic resection techniques are introduced for the treatment of those polyps. They provide higher en bloc resection rates compared with conventional techniques, while helping patients to avoid the complications of surgery. Note that 20 mm is considered as the largest size of a polyp that can be resected by polypectomy or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in an en bloc fashion. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recommended for polyps larger than 20 mm. Intramucosal carcinomas and carcinomas with limited submucosal invasion can also be resected with ESD. EMR is snare resection of a polyp following submucosal injection and elevation. ESD involves several steps such as marking, submucosal injection, incision, and dissection. Bleeding and perforation are the most common complications following advanced endoscopic procedures, which can be treated with coagulation and endoscopic clipping. En bloc resection rates range from 44.5 to 63% for EMR and from 87.9 to 96% for ESD. Recurrence rates following EMR and ESD are 7.4 to 17% and 0.9 to 2%, respectively. ESD is considered enough for the treatment of invasive carcinomas in the presence of submucosal invasion less than 1000 μm, absence of lymphovascular invasion, well-moderate histological differentiation, low-grade tumor budding, and negative resection margins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pocket-creation method (PCM) was developed to overcome the technical difficulties of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), although opening the pocket remains challenging. We developed a novel technique of PCM with single-clip traction (PCM-CT), which uses a reopenable clip as a traction device to maintain stability during the procedure. No prospective study has compared the efficacy of PCM-CT and PCM. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of PCM-CT vs. PCM in a randomized controlled trial. METHODS This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted at four Japanese institutions. Patients with superficial colorectal neoplastic lesions were included following Japanese guidelines for colorectal cancer. Seven moderately experienced endoscopists performed the ESD procedures using either PCM-CT or PCM. RESULTS 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Compared with PCM, PCM-CT achieved significantly faster mean (SD) dissection speed (21.4 [10.8] vs. 27.0 [14.5] mm2/min [95%CI 0.5 to 10.7], P = 0.03), and reduced the mean procedure time (81.8 [57.9] vs. 64.8 [47.6] minutes [95%CI -38.2 to 4.3], P = 0.12) and pocket-opening time (37.8 [33.0] vs. 30.0 [28.9] minutes [95%CI -20.2 to 4.6], P = 0.22). En bloc and R0 resection rates were not significantly different between the two groups (100% vs. 100%, P >0.99; 100% vs. 96%, P = 0.50, respectively). No significant differences were observed in adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSION ESD facilitated by the novel PCM-CT method appeared to be significantly faster than PCM. Both methods achieved high R0 resection rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely used technique to remove early neoplastic lesions. It was primarily used in the initial days to treat gastric lesions, but recently, the horizon of this endoscopic procedure has expanded, which has allowed us to manage other technically more complex locations, such as the colorectum. AREAS COVERED There has been an exponential growth regarding the wide range of devices available in the market for performing colorectal ESD. As a result, the aim of this review is to highlight the indication of this endoscopic technique, which device is best suited for which indication, as well as future trajectories in this field. EXPERT OPINION Although some devices have proven to be more advantageous than others in this area, very often the choice is still subjective, which is commonly attributed to individual preferences and experience. However, an accurate knowledge of the available tools and their functioning, with their pros and cons, is fundamental for any endoscopist venturing into the field of third space endoscopy. In this way, one can choose which device best suits a particular situation, along with simultaneously having the wealth of knowledge related to therapeutic armamentarium at our disposal in the endoscopy suite.

Abstract
Background The management of bulky neoplastic lesions in the digestive tract has historically been a surgical pursuit. With advancements in endoscopic techniques, particularly endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a paradigm shift toward organ preservation has been initiated. These endoscopic methods, developed incrementally since the 1980s, have progressively enabled curative management of lesions with minimal morbidity, challenging the previously unchallenged domain of surgery. Summary This review traces the evolution of endoscopic resection from snare polypectomy and EMR to sophisticated ESD, highlighting the technological innovations that have expanded the scope of endoscopic resection. It discusses the intricacies of various EMR techniques like underwater EMR, anchoring EMR, and hybrid EMR, alongside traction-assisted methods and the use of viscous solutions for submucosal injection. Additionally, the manuscript delves into the advancements in ESD, emphasizing traction strategies, knife technology, and the optimization of endoscopes. The benefits of these advancements are weighed against the challenges in anatomopathological interpretation posed by piecemeal resections. Key Messages The continuous amelioration of endoscopic resection techniques has significantly improved the outcomes of digestive tract lesion management, particularly in achieving R0 resections and reducing recurrence rates. These advancements represent a monumental step toward minimizing the invasiveness of lesion management. However, despite the progress, the necessity for early follow-up post-EMR remains due to the non-negligible recurrence rates, underscoring the need for a rigorous postoperative surveillance regimen. Furthermore, our review suggests that while ESD has transformed the therapeutic landscape, its widespread adoption hinges on further simplification, safety enhancement, and acceleration of the procedure, possibly through innovations like adaptive traction devices.

Abstract
The patient was a 49-year-old female with a submucosal tumor (12×12 mm) located in the lesser curvature side of the stomach. The diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration was of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound showed gastrointestinal stromal tumor with an intra-luminal growth type. Endoscopic full-thickness resection was then performed. To achieve good counter traction, enough safety margin, and minimal defect of muscle, full-thickness resection via creating a submucosal tunnel was performed as a new technique. The final histological diagnosis was gastrointestinal stromal tumor with R0 resection.

Abstract
A 70-year-old Japanese man with a submucosal gastric mass that continued to increase in size underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection using the pocket creation method. Histologically, some epithelial cell nuclei were enlarged, but there was little atypia overall and no sign of malignancy, suggesting a diagnosis of submucosal heterotopic gastric gland (SHGG). SHGG that enlarges over time has been associated with gastric cancer, but a preoperative diagnosis is difficult. This case was very valuable, as it enabled us to follow the course of SHGG over a period of about nine years, from the onset to enlargement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For an adequate educational strategy of ESD in non-Asian settings with prevalence-based indication it is essential to define adequate lesions, suitable for the beginner without on-site expert-supervision. AIMS We analyzed possible predictors for outcome parameters of effectiveness and safety during the initial learning curve. METHODS The first 120 ESDs of four operators (n = 480), performed between 2007 and 2020 in four tertiary hospitals, were enrolled. Uni-/multivariable regression analysis was done with sex, age, pretreated lesion, lesion size, organ, and organ-based localization as possible independent predictors for en bloc resection (EBR), complication, and resection speed. RESULTS Rates of EBR, complication, and resection speed were 84.5%, 14.2%, and 6.20 (± 4.45) cm2/h. Independent predictors for EBR were pretreated lesion (OR 0.27 [0.13-0.57], p < 0.001) and non-colonic ESD (OR 2.29 [1.26-4.17] (rectum)/5.72 [2.36-13.89] (stomach)/7.80 [2.60-23.42] (esophagus), p < 0.001), for complication pretreated lesion (OR 3.04 [1.46-6.34], p < 0.001) and lesion size (OR 1.02 [1.004-1.04], p = 0.012) and for resection speed pretreated lesion (RC - 3.10 [- 4.39 to - 1.81], p < 0.001), lesion size (RC 0.13 [0.11-0.16], p < 0.001) and male patient (RC - 1.11 [- 1.85 to - 0.37], p < 0.001). We found no significant difference in the incidence of technically unsuccessful resections in esophageal (1/84), gastric (3/113), rectal (7/181), and colonic (3/101) ESDs (p = 0.76). Technical failure was mainly caused by complication and fibrosis/pretreatment. CONCLUSION During the initial learning curve of an unsupervised ESD program with prevalence-based indication, pretreated lesions and colonic ESDs should be avoided. In contrast, lesion size and organ-based localizations have less predictive value for the outcome.

Abstract
Background and study aims Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) remains challenging for novice endoscopists. Not only the underwater conditions but also active use of water pressure with the water pressure method (WPM) can help widen the submucosal layer. This study aimed to clarify the usefulness of WPM in colorectal ESD, especially for novice endoscopists. Methods This study was ex vivo and enrolled three novices. Each endoscopist performed conventional ESD (C-ESD) and ESD with WPM (WPM-ESD) 10 times on an excised bovine rectum. The treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results Median procedure time was significantly shorter in the WPM-ESD group than in the C-ESD group (54 minutes, interquartile range [IQR] 42-67 vs. 45 minutes, IQR 34-55, P = 0.035). Although no significant difference in the activation time of electrical surgical unit (ESU) during the procedure was noted, the interval time during the procedure at which the ESU was not activated was significantly shorter in the WPM-ESD group (52 minutes, IQR 40-65 vs. 42 minutes, IQR 32-52, P = 0.030) than in the C-ESD group. Moreover, the time required for the endoscope to enter the submucosa was significantly shorter in the WPM-ESD group than in the C-ESD group (8.0 minutes, IQR 6.0-10 vs. 5.0 minutes, IQR 3.0-6.0, P < 0.001). Conclusions The present study reveals that the WPM method significantly shortens the procedure times for novices in colorectal ESD, especially the interval time, which refers to the time spent creating the field of view, and the time required for the endoscope to enter the submucosa.

Abstract
Colonoscopy has been shown to be an effective modality to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) development. CRC reduction is achieved by detecting and removing adenomas, which are precursors of CRC. Most colorectal polyps are small and do not pose a significant challenge for trained and skilled endoscopists. However, up to 15% of polyps are considered "difficult", potentially causing life-threatening complications. A difficult polyp is defined as any polyp that is challenging for the endoscopist to remove owing to its size, shape, or location. Advanced polypectomy techniques and skills are required to resect difficult colorectal polyps. There were various polypectomy techniques for difficult polyps such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), underwater EMR, Tip-in EMR, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), or endoscopic full-thickness resection. The selection of the appropriate modality depends on the morphology and endoscopic diagnosis. Several technologies have been developed to aid endoscopists in performing safe and effective polypectomies, especially complex procedures such as ESD. These advances include video endoscopy system, equipment assisting in advanced polypectomy, and closure devices/techniques for complication management. Endoscopists should know how to use these devices and their availability in practice to enhance polypectomy performance. This review describes several useful strategies and tips for managing difficult colorectal polyps. We also propose the stepwise approach for difficult colorectal polyps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancers (EGCs). However, obscured view and difficulty in submucosal lifting during ESD have been demonstrated. Additionally, ESD is time-consuming and poses a high risk of perforation and bleeding when performed in challenging locations. The pocket-creation method (PCM) is a newly developed strategy for colorectal tumors, while the outcomes of application in the treatment of EGCs are rarely reported. In the present study, we aimed to compare the technical efficacy and safety of PCM-ESD and the conventional ESD (c-ESD) technique for the treatment of EGCs. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study consisting of 162 patients with EGCs who underwent ESD between February 2019 and February 2021. One-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. In addition, clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes were also compared. RESULTS PCM-ESD was more likely to be used in patients with larger lesions than c-ESD with/without traction. In addition, the resection speed for lesions of the PCM-ESD was faster compared with c-ESD without traction (median dissection speed: 19.6 mm2/min vs. 15 mm2/min; p < 0.001) and c-ESD with traction (median dissection speed after PSM: 19.9 mm2/min vs. 15 mm2/min; p = 0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, significant factors related to a higher dissection speed were the treatment method of PCM-ESD (p = 0.034), the long diameter of the resected lesion (p = 0.001), and lesion location (p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Collectively, PCM-ESD appeared to be a safer and more effective treatment for EGCs than c-ESD. In addition, PCM-ESD could significantly improve the speed of tumor resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), post-ESD electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS) has been recognized as one of the major complications. There are no reports on the relationships between ESD findings and PECS. This study aims to evaluate the risk factors for PECS, including ESD findings such as muscularis propria exposure. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent colorectal ESD between January 2017 and December 2021 in Japan. The grade of injury to the muscle layer caused by ESD was categorized as follows: Grade 0, no exposure of muscularis propria; Grade 1, muscularis propria exposure; Grade 2, torn muscularis propria; and Grade 3, colon perforation. The risk factors for PECS, including injury to the muscle layer, were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Out of 314 patients who underwent colorectal ESD, PECS occurred in 28 patients (8.9%). The multivariate analysis showed that female sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.233; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.264-8.265, P = 0.014), large specimen size (≥ 40 mm) (OR 6.138; 95% CI: 1.317-28.596, P = 0.021), long procedure time (≥ 90 min) (OR 2.664; 95% CI: 1.053-6.742, P = 0.039), and Grade 1 or 2 injury to the muscle layer (OR 3.850; 95% CI: 1.090-13.61, P = 0.036) were independent risk factors for PECS. CONCLUSIONS Injury to the muscle layer, such as exposure or tear, was identified as a novel independent risk factor for PECS. We should perform colorectal ESD carefully to avoid injuring the muscle layers.

Abstract
Submucosal endoscopy (third-space endoscopy) can be defined as an endoscopic procedure performed in the submucosal space. This procedure is novel and has been utilized for delivery to the submucosal space in a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, such as a tumor, achalasia, gastroparesis, and subepithelial tumors. The main submucosal endoscopy includes peroral endoscopic myotomy, gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy, Zenker peroral endoscopic myotomy, submucosal tunneling for endoscopic resection, and endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection. Submucosal endoscopy has been used as a viable alternative to surgical techniques because it is minimally invasive in the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. However, there is limited evidence to prove this. This article reviews the current applications and evidence regarding submucosal endoscopy while exploring the possible future clinical applications in this field. As our understanding of these procedures improves, the future of submucosal endoscopy could be promising in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard method for minimally invasive resection of superficial gastrointestinal tumors. The pocket creation method (PCM) facilitates ESD regardless of location in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ESD for superficial neoplasms in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract comparing the PCM to the non-PCM. Methods Randomized controlled, prospective, and retrospective studies comparing the PCM with the non-PCM were included. Outcomes included en bloc resection, R0 resection, dissection speed, delayed bleeding and perforation. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) using the Mantel-Haenszel random effect model were documented. Results Eight studies including gastric, duodenal, and colorectal ESD were included. The en bloc resection rate was significantly higher in the PCM group than the non-PCM group (OR 3.87, 95 %CI 1.24-12.10 P = 0.020). The R0 resection rate was significantly higher in the PCM group than the non-PCM group (OR 2.46, 95 %CI 1.14-5.30, P = 0.020). The dissection speed was significantly faster in the PCM group than the non-PCM group (mean difference 3.13, 95 % CI 1.35-4.91, P < 0.001). The rate of delayed bleeding was similar in the two groups (OR 1.13, 95 %CI 0.60-2.15, P = 0.700). The rate of perforation was significantly lower in the PCM group than the non-PCM group (OR 0.34, 95 %CI 0.15-0.76, P = 0.009). Conclusions The PCM facilitates high-quality, fast and safe colorectal ESD. Further studies are needed regarding the utility of PCM in ESD of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of superficial gastric lesions located along the lesser curvature at the gastric angle is a challenging situation due to paradoxical movement and a protruding angle. The pocket-creation method (PCM) can overcome this difficulty by stabilizing the tip of the endoscope in the pocket and minimizing insufflation of the stomach, which enables horizontal and straight dissection. This study aims to clarify whether the PCM improves the technical outcomes of ESD of superficial gastric neoplasms along the lesser curvature at the angle. Methods From October 2006 to June 2021, 158 gastric lesions along the lesser curvature at the angle were resected with needle-type knives. We retrospectively reviewed the records and divided them into the PCM group (n = 61) and the conventional method (CM) group (n = 97). The primary outcome measurement was dissection speed (in mm2/min). Results The two groups were not significantly different for baseline characteristics such as macroscopic type and size except for the proportion of adenomas. The proportion of expert endoscopists was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.141). The dissection speed was significantly faster in the PCM group than in the CM group (P = 0.001). There were no holes in the resected specimens in the PCM group, while five lesions in the CM group (5%) had a hole (P = 0.182). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse events. Conclusions This is the first study to show that the PCM outperforms the CM for ESD of lesions located along the lesser curvature at the gastric angle. The PCM facilitated ESD of these lesions by significantly increasing dissection speed when a needle-type knife is used with no increase in adverse events.

Abstract
Background Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a complex operation. Effective traction is crucial. We have successfully used an orthodontic rubber band (ORB) combined with the clip traction method to assist ESD (ORB-ESD). The aim of this retrospective study is to describe the method and to compare the efficacy and safety of ORB-ESD versus conventional ESD in the treatment of superficial colorectal tumors. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with superficial colorectal tumor (with diameter ≥ 20 mm) who received either ORB-ESD (n = 34) or conventional ESD (n = 90) between January 2019 and September 2020. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the clinical data of 31 pairs of patients in each group. Results Operation time was significantly shorter for ORB-ESD than for conventional ESD (34.5 minutes vs. 56 minutes, P ≤ 0.001). In the propensity-matched cohorts, the operation time remained significantly shorter in the ORB-ESD patients (35 minutes vs. 50 minutes, P = 0.001). Postoperative adverse events, en bloc resection rate, and R0 resection rate were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05), both before and after propensity score matching. In the ORB subgroup analysis, the trainee and expert ESD operation times were similar (37 (26–53) vs. 33.5 (26–37) minutes, respectively; P = 0.274). Conclusion ORB-ESD appears to be an effective technique for ESD of colorectal cancer. Our findings need to be confirmed in large prospective multicenter studies.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed as a treatment for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms, which can achieve en bloc resection regardless of the lesion size. However, ESD is technically difficult because endoscopists cannot bring their hand into the gastrointestinal tract, unlike surgeons in regular surgery. It is difficult to obtain sufficient tension in the dissection plane and a good field of vision. Therefore, ESD is associated with a long procedure time and a high risk of adverse events in comparison with endoscopic mucosal resection. Traction methods have been developed to provide sufficient tension for the dissection plane and a good field of vision during the ESD procedure. However, traction direction is limited in most traction methods, resulting in insufficient effect in some cases. Although traction direction is considered important, there have been few investigations of its effect. In the first half of this review, important traction methods are discussed, including traction direction. In second half, appropriate traction methods for each organ are considered. Other important considerations for traction method, such as ability to adjust traction strength, interference between traction device and endoscope, and the need for specialized devices are also discussed.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed as a treatment for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms, which can achieve en bloc resection regardless of the lesion size. However, ESD is technically difficult because endoscopists cannot bring their hand into the gastrointestinal tract, unlike surgeons in regular surgery. It is difficult to obtain sufficient tension in the dissection plane and a good field of vision. Therefore, ESD is associated with a long procedure time and a high risk of adverse events in comparison with endoscopic mucosal resection. Traction methods have been developed to provide sufficient tension for the dissection plane and a good field of vision during the ESD procedure. However, traction direction is limited in most traction methods, resulting in insufficient effect in some cases. Although traction direction is considered important, there have been few investigations of its effect. In the first half of this review, important traction methods are discussed, including traction direction. In second half, appropriate traction methods for each organ are considered. Other important considerations for traction method, such as ability to adjust traction strength, interference between traction device and endoscope, and the need for specialized devices are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has developed different methods, such as pocket method (P-ESD), traction-assisted method (T-ESD), and hybrid method (H-ESD). In this meta-analysis, the benefits and drawbacks of different ESD methods were discussed and ranked. STUDY DESIGN Studies comparing different methods of colorectal ESD were searched by using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. The study was conducted for five endpoints: en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, operation time, dissection speed, and adverse events rate. Pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed through Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 16.0. The quality of all included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria, including 7 RCTs and 19 non-RCTs, with a total of 3,002 patients. The pooled analysis showed that the en bloc resection rate of H-ESD was significantly lower than that of C-ESD, P-ESD, and T-ESD (RR = 0.28, 95% CI [0.12, 0.65]; RR = 0.11, 95% CI [0.03, 0.44]; RR = 8.28, 95% CI [2.50, 27.42]). Compared with C-ESD, the operation time of H-ESD and T-ESD was significantly shorter (MD = -21.83, 95% CI [-34.76, -8.90]; MD = -23.8, 95% CI [-32.55, -15.06]). Meanwhile, the operation time of T-ESD was also significantly shorter than that of P-ESD (MD = -18.74, 95% CI [-31.93, -5.54]). The dissection speed of T-ESD was significantly faster than that of C-ESD (MD = 6.26, 95% CI [2.29, 10.23]). CONCLUSION P-ESD and T-ESD are probably the two best methods of colorectal ESD at present. The advantages of P-ESD are high en bloc resection rate and low incidence of adverse events. The advantages of T-ESD are rapid dissection and short operation time.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a method of en-bloc resection of neoplastic colorectal lesions which is less invasive compared to surgical resection. Lesion stratification, architecture recognition and estimation of depth of invasion are crucial for patient selection. Expert endoscopists have integrated a variety of classification systems including Paris, lateral spreading tumor (LST), narrow band imaging (NBI), international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) and Japanese NBI expert team (JNET) in their day-to-day practice to enhance lesion detection accuracy. Major societies recommend ESD for LST-non granular (NG), Kudo-VI type, large depressed and protruded colonic lesions with shallow submucosal invasion. Chance of submucosal invasion enhances with increased depth as well as tumor location and size. In comparison to endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), ESD has a lowerl recurrence rate and higher curative resection rate, making it superior for larger colonic lesions management. Major complications such as bleeding and perforation could be seen in up to 11% and 16% of patients, respectively. In major Western countries, performing ESD is challenging due to limited number of expert providers, lack of insurance coverage, and unique patient characteristics such as higher BMI and higher percentage of previously manipulated lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence that comprehensively compares the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for rectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) is limited. METHODS Between January 2009 and June 2018, 143 rectal LSTs in 143 patients who had undergone either ESD (n = 84) or ESTD (n = 59) were included in the study. One-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) was performed, and 50 pairs were selected. The data on patient demographics, treatment information, pathology reports, adverse events and follow-up were collected. RESULTS Before PSM, the median specimen area was significantly larger in the ESTD group than in the ESD group (12.56 cm2 vs. 6.32 cm2, respectively; p < 0.001). The median dissection speed was significantly higher in the ESTD group than in the ESD group (24.53 mm2/min vs. 15.16 mm2/min, respectively; p < 0.001). After PSM, the median dissection speed was significantly higher in the ESTD group than in the ESD group (23.80 mm2/min vs. 17.12 mm2/min, respectively; p < 0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, significant factors related to a higher dissection speed were the treatment method of ESTD (p < 0.001) and larger specimen area (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS ESTD appears to be a safe and effective method to treat rectal LSTs. Compared with ESD, ESTD appears to achieve a higher dissection speed for rectal LSTs.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of superficial gastric lesions involving the pyloric ring is difficult. The pocket-creation method (PCM) with a small-caliber-tip transparent hood can overcome this difficulty by compressing the pyloric sphincter applying both traction and counter-traction. The aim of this study is to clarify the usefulness of the PCM for ESD of superficial gastric neoplasms involving the pyloric ring compared to the conventional method (CM). Patients and methods From October 2006 to August 2019, 66 gastric lesions requiring duodenal submucosal dissection beyond the pyloric ring in 66 patients were resected. The CM was mainly performed in the first period (CM group, n = 46) and the PCM in the second period (PCM group, n = 20). We retrospectively reviewed their medical records. Results Although no significant differences were observed in en bloc resection rates between the two groups, the PCM group had a significantly higher R0 resection rate than the CM group ( P = 0.047). There were no holes in resected specimens in the PCM group while three specimens in the CM group had a hole. The dissection speed in the PCM group tended to be higher than in the CM group, although it did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.148). No significant differences were observed for the incidence of adverse events. Conclusions This is the first study reporting the advantages of the PCM over the CM for ESD of gastric lesions involving the pyloric ring. We believe that the PCM is an effective strategy to compress the pyloric sphincter and facilitates R0 resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a difficult technique. Counter-traction may facilitate the procedure but its efficacy in non-experts remains unclear. We determined the safety and efficacy of pocket creation and ring-thread traction (PRM) for non-expert colorectal ESD. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively compared patients who underwent conventional colorectal ESD (C-group, n=50) or PRM (pocket creation, whole-circumferential cutting, ring-thread traction, submucosal dissection; PRM-group, n=48). All procedures were performed by four non-experts, each with ≤40 experiences of colorectal ESD. RESULTS Procedural time was significantly shorter in the PRM-group compared with the C-group (p=0.007), with less additional device usage (p<0.001). There also tended to be fewer perforation incidents and muscle injuries in the PRM-group. There were no significant differences in en bloc or R0 resection rates between the groups. CONCLUSION PRM may be a safe, useful, and cost-effective technique for non-experts learning to perform colorectal ESD.

Abstract
Background and study aims The pocket-creation method (PCM) facilitates dissection of the central part of a tumor. We previously developed the PCM with clip traction (PCM-CT) to facilitate opening the mucosal pocket, which otherwise could become cumbersome. In the present study, we aimed to examine the feasibility of PCM-CT for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Patients and methods PCM-CT was performed on 30 patients with early colorectal tumors from October 2019 to April 2020. PCM-CT allows efficient opening of the mucosal pocket by using the PCM to dissect the center of the lesion and then apply traction with a single clip after making a circumferential mucosal incision. Results The median specimen major axis length, ESD time, ESD speed, and en bloc resection rate were 48 mm, 84 minutes, 20 mm 2 /min, and 100 % (30/30), respectively. The success rates for the traction clip and median single-clip-traction time were 100 % (30/30) and 1.5 minutes, respectively. Conclusions Colorectal ESD using PCM-CT is a simple and promising method.

Abstract
With the ameliorated resectability prowess of endoscopic techniques, a myriad of
diseases previously treated by major ablative surgeries are now endoscopically
curable. Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) is a relatively new
technique that has diversified endoscopic application. Although ESTD has
frequently been used for the resection of esophageal neoplastic lesions, the
clinical evidence pertaining to its efficacy in the treatment of circumferential
Barrett’s esophagus remains sparse. In this study, we evaluated ESTD as a
potential therapeutic technique in patients with Barrett’s esophagus-related
high-grade dysplasia. The tunneling strategy helped achieve complete en bloc
resection at an increased dissection speed, without any procedural
complications. This article illustrates that ESTD can be a feasible, safe, and
effective treatment for dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus. Future research should
aim to stratify the potential risks and complications associated with this
optimization of endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with superficial
esophageal lesions.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of the current approach to tissue traction during the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of superficial esophageal cancer, early gastric cancer, and colorectal neoplasms. We performed a systematic electronic literature search of articles published in PubMed and selected comparative studies to investigate the treatment outcomes of tractionassisted versus conventional ESD. Using the keywords, we retrieved 381 articles, including five eligible articles on the esophagus, 13 on the stomach, and 12 on the colorectum. A total of seven randomized controlled trials and 23 retrospective studies were identified. Clip line traction and submucosal tunneling were effective in reducing the procedural time during esophageal ESD. The efficacy of traction methods in gastric ESD varied in terms of the devices and strategies used depending on the lesion location and degree of submucosal fibrosis. Several prospective and retrospective studies utilized traction devices without the need to reinsert the colonoscope. When pocket creation is included, the traction devices and methods effectively shorten the procedural time during colorectal ESD. Although the efficacy is dependent on the organ and tumor locations, several traction techniques have been demonstrated to be efficacious in facilitating ESD by maintaining satisfactory traction during dissection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recognized as a challenging procedure. Previously, we reported that a new ESD strategy using the pocket-creation method (PCM) is useful for colorectal ESD, but no prospective randomized study has evaluated the efficacy of the PCM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCM for colorectal ESD compared with the conventional method (CM). METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled trial at 3 institutions in Japan. Patients with superficial colorectal neoplastic lesions >20 mm predicted to be intramucosal were randomly assigned to undergo ESD using the PCM or CM. Primary outcome was the ESD completion rate defined as completion of colorectal ESD with an en bloc resection using the assigned ESD method without changing to other methods or assisted by other devices. RESULTS We analyzed 59 patients with 59 colorectal tumors in the PCM group and 55 in the CM group. The ESD completion rate was significantly higher in the PCM group compared with the CM group (93% [55/59] vs 73% [40/55]; P = .01). En bloc resection rates, R0 resection rates, procedure time, and dissection speed were not significantly different between the 2 groups. The incidence of adverse events was similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Use of the PCM allows the endoscopist to complete the procedure with the intended method more often than the CM with similar clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background and study aims Resecting large colorectal sessile tumors using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is challenging because of severe submucosal fibrosis. Previously, we reported that ESD strategy using the pocket-creation method (PCM) is useful for large colorectal sessile tumors, but there are no large studies reporting the effectiveness and safety of the PCM for resection of large colorectal sessile tumors. Patients and methods This was a retrospective review of 90 large colorectal sessile tumors in 89 patients who underwent ESD in our institution. Large colorectal sessile tumors were defined as polypoid lesions 20 mm or more in diameter. We divided them into PCM (n = 40) and conventional method (CM) groups (n = 50). The primary outcome measure was en bloc resection. The inverse-probability-treatment weighting (IPTW) approach was used to adjust for selection bias. Results Both PCM and CM achieved high en bloc resection (100 % vs. 94 %, non-adjusted P = 0.25, IPTW-adjusted P = 0.19) and R0 resection rates (88 % vs. 78 %, non-adjusted P = 0.28, IPTW-adjusted P = 0.27). When PCM was used, the rate of pathologically negative vertical margins was significantly greater than with the CM (IPTW-adjusted P = 0.045). The dissection time was significantly shorter (IPTW-adjusted P = 0.025) and dissection speed faster (IPTW-adjusted P = 0.013) using the PCM than when the CM was used. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (intraprocedural perforation and delayed bleeding, IPTW-adjusted P = 0.68). Conclusion Although en bloc resection and R0 resection rates were similar, PCM significantly increased the rate of negative vertical margins with rapid dissection for treatment of large colorectal sessile tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is technically demanding while ensuring safety, especially in cases with fibrosis and/or poor maneuverability. To overcome such difficulties, we developed a novel method called the pocket-creation method with a traction device (PCM with TD). We then evaluated the effectiveness and safety of PCM with TD in colorectal ESD compared to other conventional methods. METHODS In total, 324 colorectal lesions treated with ESD from July 2018 to June 2019 were included. The following three treatment strategies were used: conventional ESD (CE), CE with TD, and PCM with TD. Patient backgrounds and treatment outcomes were retrospectively compared and analyzed. RESULTS As ESD methods, CE, CE with TD, and PCM with TD account for 58% (187/324), 24% (78/324), and 18% (59/324), respectively. No significant difference was observed among the three groups in en bloc and R0 resection rates or adverse events. The rate of lesions with fibrosis and poor maneuverability was significantly higher in the PCM with TD group (CE group vs CE with TD group vs PCM with TD group: fibrosis, 24% vs 47% vs 64%, p < 0.001; poor maneuverability, 5.3% vs 13% vs 20%, p = 0.002). Dissection speed was significantly higher in the PCM with TD than in the CE with TD group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS PCM with TD can achieve a stable en bloc resection rate and R0 dissection rate without adverse events even in the hands of trainees, irrespective of the size and location of the lesion, presence of fibrosis, and under poor maneuverability conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a time-consuming procedure because of the technical difficulty. The newly developed saline-pocket ESD (SP-ESD) provides a clearer view and better traction of the submucosal layer compared with the standard ESD with gas insufflation (S-ESD). This study aimed to prospectively compare the efficacy and safety between S-ESD and SP-ESD in patients with superficial colorectal neoplasms (SCNs). METHODS From April 2017 to November 2018, 95 patients with SCNs ≥20 mm in diameter were prospectively and randomly enrolled. Four patients were excluded because of an incomplete ESD procedure. Patients were finally allocated to 2 groups, S-ESD with 45 patients and SP-ESD with 46 patients. The primary outcome was dissection speed. Secondary outcomes were ESD procedure time, en bloc and complete resection rates, perforation rate, and adverse effects. RESULTS Median dissection speed was significantly faster in the SP-ESD than the S-ESD group (20.1 mm2/min [range, 17.3-28.1] vs 16.3 mm2/min [range, 11.4-19.8]; P < .001). Median procedure time was significantly shorter in the SP-ESD than the S-ESD group (29.5 minutes [range, 22.3-44] vs 41 minutes [range, 31-55]; P < .001). The en bloc and complete resection rates were 100% in both groups. No perforations occurred among patients. The volume of saline solution used in the SP-ESD group was significantly greater than that in the S-ESD group (200 mL [range, 120-250] vs 150 mL [range, 100-200]; P = .016). CONCLUSIONS SP-ESD improved dissection speed and procedure time compared with S-ESD. SP-ESD may be an alternative method for resection of SCNs. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN 000026317.).
