ENDOSCOPIC LIPOSUCTION DILEMMAS IN REMOVING LARGE GASTRIC LIPOMAS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Gastric lipomas, rare tumors, are benign but removed if symptomatic. Endoscopic techniques, like ESD, are used, with ultrasound guiding the process. A case study of a woman with a large lipoma in the stomach is discussed. Due to her medical history, surgery wasn’t an option, so endoscopic resection was chosen. The procedure involved marking and resecting the lesion, with challenges in removal due to its size and tough capsule. Fragmentation was needed for complete retrieval. The importance of retrieval planning for large lipomas is emphasized to avoid complications like intestinal obstruction. ESD is a promising non-surgical option for removal.
