Endoscopic Resection of a Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumor: Hybrid Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Recently, modified EMR (cap- or band ligation-assisted), hybrid EMR/ESD (H-EMR/ESD) techniques, and full-thickness resection [1, 3-5] have been proposed to improve in-depth resection of conventional EMR and decrease ESD drawbacks [3-5]. H-EMR/ESD has an additional advantage for difficult lesions and...

Summary:Recently, modified EMR (cap- or band ligation-assisted), hybrid EMR/ESD (H-EMR/ESD) techniques, and full-thickness resection [1, 3-5] have been proposed to improve in-depth resection of conventional EMR and decrease ESD drawbacks [3-5]. H-EMR/ESD has an additional advantage for difficult lesions and tumor size close to 10 mm or larger, reducing recurrence rate related with modified-EMR due to the limited tumor size that can be aspirated [2, 5]. H-EMR/ESD may be a good treatment choice for small R-NET limited to submucosa, without significantly compromising the completeness, timing, and safety of the procedure.
