Ex Vivo Porcine Model Study on the Treatment Outcomes of Scissor-type Knife Versus Needle-type Knife in Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Performed by Trainees
Abstract:BackgroundTrainee endoscopists find endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastrointestinal neoplasms difficult to perform independently; furthermore, there is no consensus on which endo-knife type is the most suitable for them. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study comparing the treatment outcomes of scissor-type and needle-type knives in ESD performed by trainees in an ex vivo porcine model.MethodsAround 22 trainees from 13 institutions, divided into two groups according to their endoscopic experie… Show more
