Core Tip

Core Tip: Concerning the degree of physical invasiveness of patients before and after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), assessment methods based on changes in energy metabolism using an indirect calorimeter and serum opsonic activity (SOA) measured by lucigenin- and luminol-dependent chemiluminescence are useful and easy to measure. During the perioperative period of ESD, the increase in resting energy expenditure and stress factor were lower than those reported for surgery, and SOA changes involved a minor increase in the production of lower-toxicity reactive oxygen species. These assessment methods demonstrated that the physical stress of ESD is less invasive than that of surgery.
