Comparison among Transanal Endoscopic Operation (TEO), Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and Full-Thickness Resection Device (FTRD) based on the Over-the-Scope (OVESCO) Clip System: which is the best technique for en bloc resection of rectal lesions?

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that each technique has specific features, so that each one offers advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, all of them ensure high en bloc resection rates, whereas no difference exists for R0 resection rate. TEO provides the possibility to remove low rectal large lesions as compared to ESD and FTRD. PMID: 32456395 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
