SEQUENTIAL SUBMUCOSAL TUNNELING AND ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION FOR SYMPTOMATIC TWIN ESOPHAGEAL OPPOSING LESIONS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Submucosal tunneling and endoscopic resection (STER) is a safe and effective technique for treating subepithelial esophageal lesions. In a case involving a 48-year-old man with dysphagia, STER was performed to remove twin esophageal lesions causing luminal obstruction. This involved creating a submucosal tunnel, carefully dissecting and removing the lesions, and closing the incisions with clips. The patient returned for a second procedure, where another lesion was successfully removed using the same technique. Biopsy results confirmed a leiomyoma diagnosis, with the patient becoming symptom-free post-procedure. STER is highlighted as a beneficial option for treating rare cases of opposing esophageal lesions causing luminal compromise.
