Endoscopic resection of adenoma-like mass in chronic ulcerative colitis using a combined endoscopic mucosal resection and cap assisted submucosal dissection technique

Abstract

We have shown for the first time that endoscopic resection of ALM even in the presence of complicating mucosal fibrosis is technically achievable using a combined ESD-assisted EMR technique. In an appropriately selected cohort, this technique may provide a technically feasible and clinically acceptable therapy where otherwise colectomy would be required.
