EMR to ESD: East meets west, implementation of an ESD program at an academic medical center

E

ndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a new endoscopic technique for the treatment of early stage neoplasia in

the digestive tract. ESD allows en bloc resection in comparison to endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) which is often

performed in piecemeal fashion. Understanding of the appropriate indications for ESD is paramount prior to starting an ESD

program. En bloc resection is associated with a lower recurrence rates compared to piecemeal EMR. During the presentation the

endoscopic technique for ESD will be discussed in detail. Additionally, the prerequisite training and equipment are necessary

for successful ESD outcomes. Lastly, the optimal methods of patient and provider education will be discussed program will be

reviewed. A multi-disciplinary approach is critical to ensure the best possible patient.
