Abstract
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is the cutting edge of therapeutic endoscopy. It is a minimally invasive method designed to remove gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors originating from the muscularis propria. In this review we will focus on pure EFTR, a technique that evolved from endoscopic submucosal dissection and utilizes endoscopic submucosal dissection skills and equipment. Pure EFTR differs from device-assisted or laparoscopy-assisted EFTR. It has fewer limitations in terms of tumor location and size and is a true embodiment of the natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery concept. Here we will review the development, applications, equipment, technique, and outcomes of pure EFTR, as well as give a brief overview of the current state of the art featuring both the worldwide literature and data from our large referral center.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
