A 2.7-cm lateral spreading tumor involved the ileocecal valve. Most of the lesion was in the terminal ileum and was very hard to approach colonoscopically ([Fig. 1], [Fig. 2]). Performing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) without any additional traction would have been very demanding. The idea of double-endoscope-assisted ESD (DS-ESD) has been proposed for treatment of tumors in the cecum and distal colon [1] [2]. We used double endoscopes, one for ESD and one for traction, to pull the lesion out of the terminal ileum and resect it. We modified DS-ESD with snare-based traction, which was strong and reliable ([Fig. 3], [Fig. 4]). The traction can be adjusted during the procedure. Only around 30 minutes was required to resect this lesion ([Fig. 5]). ESD with double endoscopes and snare-based traction can make lesions involving the ileocecal valve easier to resect ([Video 1]).
