The ‘Anchoring-EMR’ technique has already been described and named the ‘Tip-in EMR’ technique

We read, with great interest, the original article by Pioche et al. in [1]. Their article described a multicenter retrospective study on the efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) with the anchoring of the snare tip procedure. The authors concluded that this technique may be promising for lesions 10 to 20 mm in size and showed 82.8 % of R0 resection with no perforation. The procedure could be an option for lesions 20 to 30 mm in size.
