Abstract
For the treatment method of esophageal subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria, conventional endoscopic resection techniques are time-consuming and lack efficacy for small subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria. Lu et al presented an exploration of the effectiveness and safety of ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection, aiming to provide a minimally invasive method for treatment. We discussed and analyzed this study from the aspects of sample screening, clinical pathological characteristics, case-control analysis, and follow-up data.
Core Tip: The study presents an exploration of the effectiveness and safety of ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection following the unroofing technique for small esophageal subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria. The research aims to contribute to the field by providing insights into a less invasive approach to treating small esophageal subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria.
