CIRCUMFERENTIAL ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR LONG-SEGMENT BARRETT'S ADENOCARCINOMA: THE DOUBLE-TUNNEL AND SINGLE CLIP-AND-LOOP TRACTION METHOD
We report a successful endoscopic submucosal dissection of a long-segment Barrett’s esophagus (C10M12) adenocarcinoma, using a double-tunnel and single clip-and-loop traction method.After placing markings and submucosal injections, a distal mucosal incision was performed to set up the tunnel distal limit. A submucosal tunnel was created on the anterior wall, where good access is allowed by gravity, and it was extended in the cranial-caudal direction. Subsequently, a posterior tunnel was created with a loop-clip applied on the inferior pillar, to facilitate the anti-gravity access and expedite the submucosal exposure. A 12 cm en-bloc specimen (T1,R0) was extracted in 300 minutes.
