ESD OF A LARGE CECAL POLYP INVOLVING THE ILEOCECAL VALVE AND THE TERMINAL ILEUM
Aim An 83-year-old man was referred for endoscopic resection of a large cecal polyp that involved the ileocecal valve and extended 1 cm upstream in the terminal ileum.
Methods The lesion was removed en block by means of ESD using various techniques: clip and band multifocal traction, pocket creation method, undersaline immersion technique, and various ESD-knives (Dual Knife, IT Knife). The lesion was removed en-block. Histology showed R0 resection of a 6 cm tubulo-villous adenoma with low grade dysplasia. Conclusion: We demonstrate the successful resection of a large ileocecal polyp with terminal ileum involvement by means of various ESD techniques.
