Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) of large submucosal tumor (SMT) in the esophagus and proximal esophageal segment of cardia. Methods From July 2017 to July 2021, 20 patients with large SMT in the esophagus and proximal esophageal segment of cardia who underwent EFTR and placed covered recyclable metal stents in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively. Results 20 patients with large SMT in the esophagus and proximal esophageal segment of cardia had wounds that could not be completely repaired and closed by conventional endoscopic suture after EFTR. They were treated with fully covered recyclable metal stents and removed after 2-3 weeks. The wounds were repaired well without serious complications. Conclusion The covered recyclable metal stents are safe and effective in repairing and sealing huge wounds after EFTR of SMT.
