Endoscopic full-thickness resection of submucosal gastric tumors.

Abstract

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is a minimally invasive method for en bloc resection of gastrointestinal lesions, such as early cancer or submucosal tumor. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate a novel EFTR prototype device for full-thickness resection of the gastric wall containing artificial submucosal lesions.
