Feasibility of a Newly Developed Thumb Control Device for Simultaneous Manipulation of the Endoscope and Treatment Devices in Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A Clinical Feasibility Study

Abstract: Background/Aim: We developed a new device for the simultaneous manipulation of an endoscope and treatment devices, which we named the Smart Shooter®. The aim of this study was to validate the feasibility of using the Smart Shooter® in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods: This pilot feasibility study conducted between March and June 2014 involved 20 consecutive patients who underwent ESD for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasia. The primary endpoint was a serious adverse event during the ESD proce… Show more

“…The time spent to achieve haemostasis and the poor visibility of the bleeding point during the process impose added psychological stress on the endoscopist and may also increase the risk of perforation 4–6. Recent developments and improvements in endoscopic devices and the ESD technique have shortened the operation time and improved the treatment outcomes and complication rates 7–9. Yet, few reports have offered endoscopists satisfactory methods for promptly managing bleeding events during the ESD procedure 10–12…”

“…In contrast, endoscopists can practice the two-fingers method during several different procedures, including biopsy, EMR snare, and clipping. Furthermore, the Smart Shooter has some structural issues and use limitations 13 . Unlike the Smart Shooter, the Nelaton Attachment can be used with several different types of ESD knives and endoscopes.…”

“…One of the topics is “Contact point between medical treatment and minimally invasive surgical treatment for the malignancies of the digestive tract”. Recent advances in diagnostic imaging have made it possible to detect early cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, which could be cured by endoscopic treatments or minimally invasive surgery [1, 2]. On the other hand, limited surgery after multidisciplinary therapy (e.g., chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy [CRT]) is one of the therapeutic strategies for treating locally advanced cancer.…”
