Topographic mapping of a specimen after endoscopic submucosal dissection

Abstract

Background and study aims Mapping of pathologic specimens after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is common practice in Asian countries, especially in Japan. However, there is a lack of awareness for this technique in Europe. In this report, we demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of topographic mapping in a Western setting.
