Suturing the mucosal defect after ESD

With recent progress in technology and improvement in medical devices, outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have improved, however, delayed adverse events (AEs) including bleeding and perforation have remained major concern [1]. In particular, the number of patients taking anticoagulants is increasing and risk of delayed bleeding reportedly is significantly higher in these patients, therefore, prevention of delayed AEs is a major concern to be solved.
