A novel method of endoscopic submucosal dissection using a threaded clip for a lesion of the greater curvature of the gastric body.

Abstract

Gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for lesions of the greater curvature of the gastric body is challenging owing to difficulty in approaching the lesion, submersion [1], and vertical confrontation with the lesion. Threaded-clip traction attached to the lesion is widely used in gastric ESD [2] [3]. We report a novel method of ESD using a threaded clip for a lesion of the greater curvature of the gastric body.
