Quality in upper gastrointestinal endoscopic submucosal dissection.


ABSTRACT: Progress in the endoscopy technology field led to an increase in the diagnosis of early gastrointestinal (GI) superficial lesions and to an improvement of their treatment. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed in Japan with the aim of removing such lesions in one piece, in order to obtain a curative resection and to minimize the risk of local recurrence, and to preserve the native organ. ESD is widely used in Asia for the treatment of early upper and lower GI lesions and is currently gaining attention in Western countries too. However, ESD can be safely performed only by expert endoscopists and in specific clinical settings. Therefore, prior to decide whether ESD is feasible or not, the target lesion must be carefully assessed, in order to understand whether or not it is eligible for submucosal dissection. The aim of this paper is to review indications, limitations and technical aspects of upper GI ESD.
