Core Tip

Core Tip: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been advocated by digestive endoscopists because of its comparable therapeutic effect to surgery, reduced trauma, faster recovery, and fewer complications. ESD for lesions of the duodenum is challenging due to the thin intestinal wall of the duodenum, narrow intestinal space, rich peripheral blood flow, and proximity to vital organs, such as the common bile duct and pancreas. Therefore, the duodenal lesion biopsy before ESD should be small and parallel to the fold to avoid scarring and hindering subsequent dissection. Duodenal ESD should be performed quickly to shorten the operation time and reduce delayed perforation and bleeding caused by electrocoagulation syndrome and intestinal wall edema, especially when the lesions are on the medial side of the descending segment of the duodenum because of proximity to huge arteries, the common bile duct, and pancreas tissues. The wounds after ESD should be sutured with metal clips to avoid late perforation.
