Animal experimental study on magnetic anchor technique-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection of early gastric cancer

Table 1 Comparison between the study group and control group

	Study group (n = 6)	Control group (n = 6)	P value
Total surgical time (min)	26.57 ± 0.19	29.97 ± 0.28	< 0.001
Incidence of surgical complications1 (%)	100	83.3	-
Complete mucosal resection rate (%)	100	66.7	0.439
Specimen size (diameter, cm)	2.44 ± 0.04	2.49 ± 0.02	0.328
Endoscopist's satisfaction with the procedure2 (score)	9.53 ± 0.10	8.00 ± 0.22	< 0.001

¹Incidence of surgical complications include bleeding and perforation.

²Endoscopist's surgical satisfaction scores which ranged from 0 to 10 reflect their feelings about convenience with the surgical procedure. Higher scores indicate better satisfaction.
