Abstract

The three-dimension (3D) endoscopic system is widely used as rigid endoscope in laparoscopic surgery. The advantage of 3D imaging is to obtain depth perception and spatial orientation. 3D system is reported that it can reduce operation time and technical error, especially in the procedure operated by trainees, comparing with conventional two-dimension system in laparoscopic surgery. However, little is known about the utility of 3D imaging system in the luminal endoscopic procedure. Recently, the prototype of 3D flexible endoscope (GIF-Y0080; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) have been developed, and the aim of this study is to investigate the safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection using 3D endoscope (3D-ESD) for early gastrointestinal cancer (EGIC).
