Background: The ileocecal valve (ICV) is considered to be one of the most difficult locations for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traction-assisted ESD in this situation.

Methods: All patients who underwent traction-assisted ESD for an ICV lesion at three centers were identified from a prospective ESD database. En bloc and R0 rates were evaluated. Factors associated with non-R0 resection were explored.

Results: 106 patients with an ICV lesion were included. The median lesion size was 50 mm (interquartile range 38-60) and 58.5% (62/106) invaded the terminal ileum. The en bloc and R0 resection rates were 94.3% and 76.4%, respectively. Factors associated with non-R0 resection were lesions covering ≥75% of the ICV (odds ratio [OR] 0.21. 95%CI 0.06-0.76; P=0.02), and involving the anal lip (OR 0.36, 95%CI 0.13-0.99; P=0.04) or more than two sites on the ICV (OR 0.27, 95%CI 0.07-0.99; P=0.03).

Conclusion: Traction-assisted ESD for treatment of ICV lesions was a safe and feasible option. Large lesions and anal lip involvement appeared to be factors predictive of difficulty.

Aim: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colonic neoplasms is a technically intricate procedure. Internal traction using a single clip has emerged as a promising supportive technique for colonic ESD. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ESD with and without the aid of single-clip traction.

Background: Since the snare traction-assisted ESD has been proven effective in treating flat lesions of the digestive tract, we modified and innovated the process and path of the traditional snare entering the digestive tract, aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of using the per-nasal "GTS partner" assisted traction technology in gastric ESD.

Methods: Patients with superficial gastric neoplasms were prospectively enrolled between November 2022 and May 2024 and randomly assigned to a conventional ESD (C-ESD) group or per-nasal "GTS partner" traction-assisted ESD (GTS-ESD) group. The primary outcomes were procedure time and dissection speed.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors, including rectal neuroendocrine tumors (r-NETs). However, the relative advantages of traction-assisted ESD for the treatment of small rectal lesions are still debated.

Aims: We conducted a study to compare the efficacy and safety of rubber band traction-assisted ESD (RBT-ESD) to conventional ESD (C-ESD).

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is considered curative for patients with early gastrointestinal cancers. However, it is a technically challenging procedure that can be time-consuming and associated with complications such as bleeding and perforation. Traction devices and techniques have been developed to mitigate these risks and reduce procedure times.
