“…Continuous breakthroughs in biomedicine and clinical instruments are advancing the quality of surgeries and monitoring/treatment tools. In particular, there has been a prodigious rise in the number of endoscopic interventional procedures for diverse types of surgeries, which have spared patients from major surgeries by inserting long tubular probes through small incisions or natural body openings for minimally invasive operation 240–243. The injectable biomedical electronics discussed in this review are no different from such endoscopes in that high aspect ratio structures were utilized for diagnosing and treating the body parts with minimal incisions.…”

The rapid pace of progress in implantable electronics driven by novel technology has created devices with unconventional designs and features to reduce invasiveness and establish new sensing and stimulating techniques. Among the designs, injectable forms of biomedical electronics are explored for accurate and safe targeting of deep‐seated body organs. Here, the classes of biomedical electronics and tools that have high aspect ratio structures designed to be injected or inserted into internal organs for minimally invasive monitoring and therapy are reviewed. Compared with devices in bulky or planar formats, the long shaft‐like forms of implantable devices are easily placed in the organs with minimized outward protrusions via injection or insertion processes. Adding flexibility to the devices also enables effortless insertions through complex biological cavities, such as the cochlea, and enhances chronic reliability by complying with natural body movements, such as the heartbeat. Diverse types of such injectable implants developed for different organs are reviewed and the electronic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric, and microfluidic devices that enable stimulations and measurements of site‐specific regions in the body are discussed. Noninvasive penetration strategies to deliver the miniscule devices are also considered. Finally, the challenges and future directions associated with deep body biomedical electronics are explained.

“…Nevertheless, there are only several case reports about the application of this new technique to GI SMTs. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] Moreover, as a novel endoscopic procedure, the STER technique is developing and its indications should be well established with further assessments. Therefore, standard ESD rather than STER technique is applied to treating GI SMTs in our endoscopy center.…”

“…Inspired by POEM, another new procedure named submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) has been innovated by Chinese endoscopists for the treatment of upper GI submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from muscularis propria. Nevertheless, there are only several case reports about the application of this new technique to GI SMTs . Moreover, as a novel endoscopic procedure, the STER technique is developing and its indications should be well established with further assessments.…”

“…Our group defines it as tunnel endoscopic surgery which includes several novel procedures utilizing a submucosal tunnel as an operating space ( Table 3 ). 19 In 2010, we innovated a new procedure that takes advantage of the submucosal tunneling technique popularized by POEM in order to achieve complete, full thickness endoscopic resection of GI submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from the muscularis propria layer. Our group coined the acronym STER (submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection) for this procedure.…”

Worldwide, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has achieved remarkable initial outcomes in the treatment of achalasia. In China, POEM has developed very quickly since the first case was performed in our center in August 2010. With experience, we have successfully performed POEM for special cases (such as pediatric patients, patients with sigmoid-type esophagus, and patients with recurrent symptoms after previous surgery) and have altered our technique to achieve long-term symptom remission and simplify the POEM procedure. These changes include posterior wall incision, full-thickness myotomy, a “push-and-pull” technique for myotomy, and water-jet assisted POEM. In this article, our experiences in POEM are summarized, including changes in technique, applications of the procedure, and the management of possible complications.
