Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) are two methods for resection of gastrointestinal neoplasias. With ESD, neoplasias can be resected in one piece (en bloc), enabling the R0 and curative resection of lesions. EMR, on the other hand, is technically easier and faster but is usually performed in a piece-meal fashion [1].
