Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) is a novel endoscopic technique for gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (SMT) originating from the muscularis propria layer, and has been proved to be effective by clinical studies. STER was initially created for esophageal and cardia SMT, but its indications have expanded due to the implication and modification of this technique. Herein, we review the indications, procedure, efficacy and complications of STER.
