Schematic of endoscopic submucosal dissection using the pocket creation method. We created 2 oral-to-anal submucosal tunnels on the sides of the anterior and posterior walls. Dissection between the 2 tunnels was then performed.

... the ESD technique with the patient under general anesthesia. We incised the mucosa and dissected the submucosal layer using the pocket-creation method with a scissors-type knife (Clutch Cutter; Fujifilm Co, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan), as described previously. 4 We created 2 oral-to-anal submucosal tunnels on the sides of the anterior and posterior walls (Fig. ...
