ENDOSCOPIC FULL-THICKNESS RESECTION OF A DUODENAL GASTROINTESTINAL TUMOR IN THE SECOND PORTION OF THE DUODENUM

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 65-year-old man was found to have a submucosal duodenal GIST during a routine EGD. After imaging and biopsy confirmed it as a low-grade tumor, endoscopic submucosal dissection with full thickness resection (ESD-EFTR) was performed. Despite the procedural challenges of the duodenal location, the GIST was successfully and safely removed without complications. The patient recovered well and was doing fine at a 3-month follow-up. This case supports ESD-EFTR as a viable, minimally invasive alternative to surgical resection for duodenal GISTs, demonstrating the efficacy of endoscopic methods, including suturing, to manage such complex cases.
