Core Tip	Pretraction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection is a safe and effective therapeutic technique for rectal neuroendocrine tumors. This significantly improves R0 resection rates and reduces the risk of adverse events. Further validation of the efficacy and generalizability of pretraction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection requires elucidating its specific mechanisms, conducting prospective multicenter studies, and performing long-term follow-up.
