ESD/Submucosal Endoscopy-ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION OF GIANT COLONIC LIPOMA

ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION OF GIANT COLONIC LIPOMA

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is about the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a giant colonic lipoma. Lipomas in the colon can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and constipation. The preferred treatment for symptomatic lipomas is endoscopic resection if possible. The video presents a case of a patient with intermittent abdominal pain for a year. CT scan and colonoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of a giant lipoma. Initially, loop-assisted resection was attempted, but due to the size of the tumor, ESD was performed instead. The procedure involved submucosal injection and dissection of the tumor using various endoscopic tools. Pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient was discharged without complications. ESD is considered a safe and effective treatment for giant colonic lipomas.
