Endoscopic full-thickness resection of upper gastrointestinal lesions
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) refers to the resection of a gastrointestinal (GI) lesion involving all layers of the endoluminal GI tract. These lesions may involve any layer of the GI tract. However, most EFTRs are performed for lesions that reach into the submucosa or deeper muscular layers. By definition, EFTR results in an orifice that exposes the GI luminal contents with the peritoneum or adjacent organs. Therefore, the defect must be tightly closed to prevent spillage of luminal contents outside the luminal GI tract. (Source: Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Preface
Full thickness perforation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is one of the most devastating complications of GI endoscopy. For years, fear of this complication prevented many from considering endoscopic resection of tumors arising from the deeper layers of the digestive tract. Many endoscopists find it unfathomable to intentionally transgress the entire wall of the GI tract. However, recent advances in reliable full thickness endoscopic closure devices have allowed this to become possible in both a safe and effective manner.

Endoscopic suturing for closure of transmural defects
For many years reliable endoscopic closure of transmural defects of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has remained a challenging task. These defects can be caused by unintentional complications of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy (perforation) or be a result of full-thickness resection of GI tract lesions. Perforation during flexible endoscopy still remains the most worrisome complication, which usually requires urgent surgical (or laparoscopic) intervention for closure of the perforation or resection affected segment of GI tract.
