Title: Prevention of stricture after large esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissections
Abstract: Ten years have passed since the esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique was first developed. ESD is a useful treatment for superficial esophageal cancers, its advantages being high R0 resection rate, more precise histological examination, and low local recurrence rate [1]. However, in situations where semicircumferential or circumferential ESD is performed for esophageal lesions, severe strictures occur, which worsen the subsequent quality of life of the patients.
