Double Dissection at the Cecum - Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) results in high en-bloc resection rate. Male, 80 years old, two sessile polyps of 20 mm and 40 mm in the cecum (JNET 2A).A solution of carmine and adrenalin was injected, followed by mucosal incision. In the first, conventional submucosal dissection, the scar was closed with clips. In the second, submucosal dissection was performed by traction method.Histology revealed that the first was hyperplasic. The second was adenomatous, high grade dysplasia, negative margins.This case demonstrates ESD at the cecum. ESD has the potential to become the common therapy for large superficial colorectal sessile tumors.
