What is Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)?
ESD is a highly specialized endoscopic deep tissue resection technique that removes flat GI lesions, precancerous growths, and early cancers from the submucosal layer of the digestive tract. It uses an endoscopic knife and electrosurgical tools to separate and dissect the targeted lesion from surrounding tissues тАФ without the need for open surgery.
