Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We aim to evaluate safety and feasibility of a thulium laser system in performing endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric neoplasia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Instead of endoscopic knives, a thin, flexible fiber is inserted through the working channel of the endoscope. Acetic acid (1.5%) and indigo carmine dye are sprayed onto the lesion to clarify the margin. Markings are made 10 mm outside the tumor margin using a laser fiber with a power setting at 30 W. After marking, a mixture of sodium hyaluronate with indigo carmine and epinephrine (1:25000) is injected into the submucosa outside the marking dots. A circumferential mucosal incision and submucosal dissection are performed by a thulium laser fiber with a power setting at 30 to 40 W. Activation of the laser beam is controlled by stepping on a foot pedal. Hemostasis during procedure is also attempted using the thulium laser. When hemostasis is not achieved properly, additional use of hemostatic forceps or a hemoclip will be considered.
