How Endoscopic Mucosal Resection/Submucosal Dissection (EMR/ESD) is performed
Under sedation or anesthesia, the lesion is assessed and marked via gastroscopy, often with submucosal injection for elevation first. EMR is often performed by circumferential incision followed by snare resection, while ESD involves layered dissection with specialized instruments until complete resection. Intraoperative hemostasis is performed concurrently, and the specimen is retrieved for pathology. Post-operative monitoring for signs of bleeding and perforation is conducted. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
