How Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD, Early Stage) is performed
Under sedation or general anesthesia, the lesion is marked via gastroscopy, and a lifting agent is injected into the submucosal layer. The mucosa is usually circumferentially cut, and then dissected along the submucosal layer to achieve en bloc resection; hemostasis is performed intraoperatively, and the wound surface can be treated with clips or other methods. Early postoperative observation for signs of bleeding or perforation is essential. The goal is to obtain a complete specimen for pathological evaluation while preserving the stomach. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
