Introduction

One of the major challenges in performing endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for gastric submucosal tumors is leakage of intragastric gas into the abdominal cavity through the full-thickness defect [1]. Previous solutions have ingeniously included handmade balloon devices [2]. However, this approach can be time-consuming, and the handmade nature of the balloon introduces potential risks such as rupture, intraperitoneal dislodgement, and unintentional detachment during the procedure. We report a case in which EFTR was successfully completed while maintaining a stable endoscopic field by using a balloon occlusion method with a commercially available ileus tube (EFTR balloon) inserted into the full-thickness defect.
