Video Tip: Colonic ESD in the US | March 2021-Colonic ESD in the US

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedures in the United States. The ESD technique involves removing entire lesions in one piece from the submucosal layer. The complexity of the procedure is demonstrated by the use of different devices, such as stabilization and grasping tools, along with specialized knives for dissecting the lesion. Examples of challenging lesions include flat polyps, fibrotic lesions, and appendiceal orifice lesions. ESD offers a less invasive alternative to surgery, although it requires multiple devices which can be costly. Cheaper options for devices like clips and stabilizing tools are being developed.
