Future Development of Endoscopic Accessories for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Jae-Young Jang. Clin Endosc. 2017 May.

Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has recently been accepted as a standard treatment for patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), without lymph node metastases. Given the rise in the number of ESDs being performed, new endoscopic accessories are being developed and existing accessories modified to facilitate the execution of ESD and reduce complication rates. This paper examines the history underlying the development of these new endoscopic accessories and indicates future directions for the development of these accessories.

Keywords: Accessory; Early gastric cancer; Endoscopic submucosal dissection; Endoscopy.
