Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a curative endoluminal surgical procedure for the treatment of gastric epithelial neoplasms. One of the major complications of ESD are post-ESD bleeding. In reality, a second-look endoscopy has been routinely performed to check the possibility of post ESD-bleeding in most hospitals without solid evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a second-look endoscopy was necessary for preventing delayed bleeding and to verify the clinicopathological features of post-ESD bleeding for determining the specific lesions that may need a second-look endoscopy.
