Endoscopic Management of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
摘要
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) developed from endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and involves cutting off the target lesion through submucosal injection with stained normal saline and high-frequency electrosurgical knife dissection to remove the lesion en bloc. The advantage of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery such as ESD and EMR is in maintaining the integrity of the gastric wall, which can effectively reduce the probability of postoperative anastomotic stenosis for cardia or pylorus gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
