Magnetic anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection (MAG-ESD) using an extracorporeal electromagnet was developed to provide excellent visualization and to facilitate complicated ESD in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), with its use being reported in several studies over recent years [1] [2] [3]. Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) has been reported as a treatment for the en bloc dissection of large early neoplastic lesions with higher dissection speed and better radical cure rates than standard ESD [4] [5]. This case report describes a new method, magnetic multidirectional anchor-guided ESTD (MMAG-ESTD), for the treatment of large EGCs in human subjects.

A 54-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a high grade intraepithelial neoplasia extending from the gastric angle to the fundus. MMAG-ESTD was performed using a gastroscope fitted with a soft transparent front cap. The magnetic anchor-guided system consists of an interior magnet made of an Nd2Fe14B crystal, with a shell of pure iron, and an internal device, which is a medical stainless steel column of 10 × 10 mm ([Fig. 1]).

After a partial mucosa cut was made transversely with a DualKnife, one magnetic anchor consisting of an internal neodymium magnet with a hemoclip was attached to the proximal mucosal edge of the lesion ([Fig. 2 a]). A submucosal tunnel was then created by submucosal dissection from the proximal to the distal end. Unlike previous magnetic devices, this system requires no external magnets, which makes the entire procedure simpler. The other two shells with hemoclips were attached to the horizontal mucosal edge, which then attracted the internal magnet, with adequate countertraction to create good visualization, thereby assisting the submucosal dissection procedure ([Fig. 2 b]). The mucosal countertraction fully exposed the submucosal field of vision in three directions. MMAG-ESTD was successful performed without adverse events ([Fig. 2 c]; [Video 1]).

Qualität:

By combining the advantages of both magnetic ESD and tunnel ESD, we hope that this MMAG-ESTD system will facilitate difficult ESD procedures and enhance the field of magnetic endoscopic surgery in future.
