Over-the-Scope Clip-Associated Endoscopic Muscular Dissection for Seven Cases of Small Gastric Submucosal Tumor: A Video-Based Case Series

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the methodology, feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel method called over-the-scope clip- (OTSC-) associated endoscopic muscular dissection for small GSMT.

Methods

A pilot study on small GSMT diameter ≤ 1 cm was performed. OTSC-associated endoscopic muscular dissection was based on the requirement of OTSC apparatus and ESD technique; after ligaturing the bottom of small GSMT by OTSC, ESD was performed to resect the tumors, and the wounds of ESD were closed by clips finally. All the patients were followed up for more than 3 months, and the complications during and after OTSC-associated endoscopic muscular dissection were recorded.

Results

A total of 7 consecutive patients with small GSMT were included. All tumors were completely di
