How ESD/EMR is performed
This method is mostly used for lesions limited to the mucosa/submucosa. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or submucosal dissection (ESD) can be selected. Usually, liquid is injected under the lesion to lift it, and after a circular incision, an electrocoagulation knife is used to separate and remove it in the submucosal layer. Hemostasis and closure devices are used to treat the wound if necessary. The resected specimen is sent for pathological evaluation. Postoperative monitoring for signs of bleeding and perforation, gradually resuming eating, with the goal of complete resection and obtaining staging information. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
