Key Words Rectal neuroendocrine tumor; Endoscopic submucosal dissection; Positive vertical margin; Non-R0 resection; Pathologic margin assessment
Core Tip Positive vertical margins after endoscopic resection of small, well-differentiated rectal neuroendocrine tumors do not necessarily indicate residual disease. Technical artifacts and the intrinsic indolence of G1 tumors support a risk-adapted, surveillance-based approach rather than routine salvage surgery after non-R0 resection.
