Novel strategy of endoscopic submucosal dissection using an insulation-tipped knife for early gastric cancer: near-side approach method
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using insulation-tipped knives (IT knives) to treat gastric lesions located on the greater curvature of the gastric body remains technically challenging because of the associated bleeding, control of which can be difficult and time consuming. To eliminate these difficulties, we developed a novel strategy which we have called the "...
متن کاملPalliation of Postintubation Tracheal Stenosis Using Insulation-Tipped Diathermic Knife 2: A Case Report
OBJECTIVE To report the first case of using the insulation-tipped diathermic knife 2 (IT knife-2) for the treatment of postintubation tracheal stenosis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 71-year-old female patient with a history of endotracheal intubation 3 years earlier presented with throat discomfort, gross wheezing and dyspnea. Chest imaging and bronchoscopy demonstrated a strand-l...
متن کاملEndoscopic submucosal dissection using a novel irrigation hood-knife.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection tech− niques using an insulated−tip knife (IT knife) were introduced several years ago to allow en−bloc resection of early gastric cancers, since histological evaluations are essential in order to assess the risk of lymph−node metastasis [1, 2]. However, the technique requires special skills and involves a prolonged procedural time. We have therefore developed a...
متن کاملEndoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer
The field of endoscopy has progressed markedly and become widespread in recent years, and the role of minimally invasive endoscopic treatment has become increasingly more important with the increase in the number of patients in whom gastric cancer is detected at an early stage. In addition, the characteristics of early gastric cancer, which can be curably treated by mucosal resection alone just...
متن کامل[Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer].
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been accepted as a treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC). The number of EMR procedures for EGC has been increasing because a patient's quality of life after EMR is superior to that after surgical gastrectomy. In Japan, most EMR have been performed using the strip biopsy method; however, in some cases we experienced local recurrences when multiple fragmen...
