Core Tip

Core Tip: Transoral endoscopic resection of upper gastrointestinal submucosal lesions is associated with gas-related complications, which are unavoidable and may increase patient burden and prolong the duration of hospitalization. A four-variable nomogram predicts the risk of gas-related complications after transoral endoscopic resection of upper gastrointestinal submucosal lesions, guiding endoscopists during clinical operations.
