ESD requires the endoscopist to perform a surgical dissection. Until now, development of these skills required intensive training on porcine models that are not widely available. We were able to create a method using the excised portion from sleeve gastrectomy patients, providing a more accessible and cost-effective model for ESD training and potentially other endoscopic therapeutic modalities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
