Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic sub-mucosal dissection (ESD) are rapidly emerging techniques for the treatment of early gastrointestinal neoplasia. They can be used for a wide range of purposes including the removal of

1) High grade dysplasia within Barrett's

2) Early gastric cancers and submucosal lesions

3) Duodenal adenomas

4) Colonic adenomas

LST resections are complex and time consuming. It is important therefore that before undertaking this kind of work that the lesions are carefully assessed and the appropriate technique selected.

This website aims to explore the common indications for EMR and ESD and demonstrate the techniques through videos of actual endoscopic procedures.

There are also pages explaining the requirements of the pathologist and the challenges faced in reporting on the specimens produced by these techniques.
