THE NEEDLE-INCISION-SNARE TECHNIQUE USING A SINGLE INECTION-SNARE DEVICE FOR KNIFE-ASSISTED RESECTION (EMR-ESD HYBRID ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION)

Advanced endoscopic resection encompasses the utilization of injection needle to create the submucosal cushion followed by incision using a needle, and dissection using a knife. We have developed a technique using a single device for accomplishing hybrid EMR-ESD. This approach using a single device to perform advanced resection is practical as it saves time, as injection is immediately available, followed by incision and dissection using the snare's metal tip, for final in toto excision of the specimen with the snare. This device and technique have the potential of improving the acceptance and performance of ESD or ESD-EMR hybrid procedures worldwide.
