How Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is performed
Under sedation or anesthesia monitoring, if applicable, inject below the lesion to form a cushion. Usually, the mucosa is incised along the edge of the lesion, and the lesion is separated in the submucosal layer with a special knife, and the lesion is completely dissected; hemostasis and wound treatment are performed during the process, and clipping is performed if necessary.
