| Core Tip |
The fibrosis found in ulcerative early gastric cancer (EGC) has been an obstacle to successful endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This report demonstrates the first use of the endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) salvage technique for treatment of ulcerative EGC with fibrosis. ESTD involves the use of an endoscopic cap under the tunnel flap, which enables a clear view of the submucosal dissection line, making it easier than conventional ESD to resect an EGC lesion without complication. Therefore, the ESTD salvage technique has several advantages for resection of EGC with severe fibrosis due to previous ESD or severe ulceration. |
