Abstract

ESD in esophagus can be difficult, time-consuming due to its narrow lumen, weak mucosa, no serosa, rich submucosal vessels, and is easily influencing by the heartbeat and breathing, especially in upper esophageal lesions [1]. Thus ESD for esophageal lesions should be carried out in centers with expertise in endoscopic resection, management of potential complications [2].
