Endoscopic submucosal dissection pocket technique for removal of recurrent colonic lesion

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: A 78-year-old woman had undergone a screening colonoscopy in 2010, which revealed an 11-mm flat lesion in the sigmoid colon. This was removed by EMR in a piecemeal fashion, and the area was tattooed. A subsequent colonoscopy in 2016 revealed a 30-mm flat lesion at the previous EMR site. She was referred to our hospital for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
