Endoscopic Resection

Endoscopic Resection

Endoscopic resection is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove small masses or lesions from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is sometimes referred to as an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible endoscope, equipped with a light and camera, through the mouth and down the esophagus into the stomach or duodenum. Once the lesion is identified, the endoscope is used to snare the lesion and then remove it with a forceps. Endoscopic resection is used to diagnose and treat a variety of GI conditions, including early cancers, benign polyps, and inflammatory diseases. It is especially helpful for lesions that are too large or too deep to be treated with endoscopic therapy such as polypectomy. It also allows for better visualization of the lesion and the surrounding tissue, which can improve accuracy of diagnosis. Endoscopic resection is typically done under general anesthesia and usually takes about 30 minutes or less. Recovery from the procedure is usually quick, often requiring just one night in the hospital. Any tissue that is removed during the procedure is sent to the laboratory for testing to confirm the diagnosis. Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective procedure for removing small lesions from the GI tract. It is far less invasive than traditional surgical resection, and it can help to reduce the risk of complications associated with open surgery. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, and close follow-up is required to ensure that any lesions that are left behind do not grow or become symptomatic.
