Core Tip

Core Tip: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is helpful in the early detection and treatment of gastric cancer but has a long learning curve. Magnetic anchor technique (MAT) was used to shorten the total surgical time and improve the endoscopist’s satisfaction with the surgical procedure by providing good mucosal exposure and sufficient tissue tension for ESD. MAT shows advantages over other assistive technologies, such as the flexibility to change the magnitude and direction of traction. This method shows great auxiliary potential in ESD and has good prospects for clinical application.
