Abstract
Minor rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can be resected endoscopically using various procedures. Nevertheless, there remains controversy with regard to which of the possible endoscopic approaches is the most effective [1] [2] [3]. As revealed by relevant reports, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective and safe technique for the treatment of rectal NETs; however, ESD requires physicians to have more surgical skills and operative times are longer than for other endoscopic resection techniques [2]. A pretraction-assisted ESD technique for small rectal NETs was therefore created to simplify the process and facilitate the operation ([Video 1]).
