Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in the Stomach and Duodenum: Techniques, Indications, and Outcomes

Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am. 2023 Jan;33(1):67-81. doi: 10.1016/j.giec.2022.07.005.

Abstract

Gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is established for management of early gastric cancer (EGC). Diagnosis of EGC relies on adequate endoscopic assessment involving lesion size, histopathology, presence of ulceration, and depth of invasion. Absolute indications for endoscopic resection of EGC are if patients are presumed to have a less than 1% risk of lymph node metasta endoscopic submucosal dissectionsis, and long-term outcomes are similar to those with surgical gastrectomy. Duodenal ESD is more technically difficult and requires expertise in ESD in other locations.
