Endoscopic submucosal dissectionAbstract
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an established endoscopic method to resect early gastric neoplasm as well as large gastrointestinal epithelial lesions. It enables the removal of larger and potentially deeper lesions with curative intention.
Case Report: Here in this report, a 31-year-old female presented to us with dyspepsia. Gastroscopy revealed a large, wide-based, polypoid lesion at the antrum. We performed ESD, and follow-up gastroscopy after 3 months showed a healed scar with no residual lesion.
Conclusion: Only very few centers (1-2) are performing ESD in our country; extended practice of this relatively newer procedure can help our patients a lot.
