Takaaki Morikawa et al. Multicenter prospective randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the pocket-creation method with and without single-clip traction of colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection

Procedure duration is an important limitation of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), although the benefits of R0 resection for patients are evident. In this randomized trial of ESD using the pocket-creation method, clip traction resulted in faster dissection speeds and reduced procedure times compared with no clip traction. Faster dissection may help to align ESD more favorably with piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection in terms of procedure duration, while maintaining specimen quality and reducing the risk of local recurrence.
