Abstract
MARIN-GABRIEL, José Carlos et al. Colonic endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) with the over-the-scope device (FTRD): a short case series. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.3, pp.230-233. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.4259/2016.
The endoscopic treatment of early gastrointestinal neoplasms usually involves the resection of the superficial layers, mucosa and submucosa, of the wall. However, in some circumstances, a full-thickness resection may be necessary. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) may be an adequate approach in challenging lesions such as adenomas or early cancers with severe submucosal fibrosis or small sub-epithelial lesions in the lower GI tract. Furthermore, this novel technique has the potential to spare surgical therapy in a subset of cases. In this paper, we describe our results with the full-thickness resection device (FTRD) in three different situations.
