Abstract
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) allows for minimally invasive acquisition of all layers of the gastrointestinal wall. The method was initially developed for therapeutic purposes. More recently EFTR has been successfully implemented for diagnostic applications such as diagnosis of gastrointestinal neuromuscular diseases or as a staging procedure for superficial GI neoplasia in select cases. It represents a step forward from the previous standard laparoscopic tissue biopsy and allows shorter recovery time at the same time decreasing the risk of potential side effects of a major procedure. EFTR has significant diagnostic value in its ability to provide a full thickness gastrointestinal wall specimen allowing appropriate histological review with the potential to determine a therapeutic plan.
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.
