Endoscopic Intermuscular Dissection (EID) with Intermuscular Tunneling for Local Resection of Rectal Cancer with Deep Submucosal Invasion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video tip, sponsored by Braintree, presents endoscopic intermuscular dissection with intermuscular tunneling as a technique for local resection of rectal cancer with deep submucosal invasion. The video showcases the removal of a tumor using this technique, which involves dissection between the inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle layers. EID has been shown to have favorable safety and feasibility outcomes, making it a preferred option over other surgical resection techniques. The video provides a step-by-step demonstration of the EID procedure, highlighting the importance of optimal counter-traction and proper identification of different layers. The EID technique enables complete R0 resection with minimal interference with the TME plane.
