Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is currently an advanced method of treating early cancer of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. The ESD allows to remove tumors of any size in an en-bloc, unlike endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), when we can remove lesions completely only less than 20 mm in size. Despite this advantage, ESD is accompanied by more perforations and bleeding than EMR. Difficult anatomical localization, an unexpressed muscle layer of the organ wall, fibrosis of the submucosal layer and insufficient experience of the operator are the main causes of incomplete resections of the tumor, the development of complications and relapses.
The described methods of tumor traction during submucosal dissection allow increasing the value of en-bloc resection and achieving histologically complete resection. We have presented a wide variety of different methods of tumor traction when performing ESD. We have noted both advantages and disadvantages of traction techniques in endoscopic intraluminal surgery.
