Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technique used to remove early-stage gastrointestinal tumors, primarily in Asia, but its adoption in Western countries is limited, prompting this study on its learning curve in the U.S.
- A retrospective analysis of 540 ESD cases performed by a single operator revealed that proficiency benchmarks for successful resections were reached after approximately 250 procedures, with en bloc resection rates increasing significantly before plateauing.
- The study concludes that training for ESD takes longer in the West due to the complexity of lesions tackled early in training, differing from the experiences in Asia.
