About Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure performed by a Surgical Gastroenterologist to remove early-stage gastrointestinal cancers and large precancerous lesions from the lining of the digestive tract. Using a specialized endoscope, the surgeon meticulously separates the abnormal tissue from the deeper healthy layers of the esophagus, stomach, or colon. This technique allows for the complete, en bloc removal of tumors, providing a precise pathological specimen for accurate staging. ESD is a curative treatment for select early cancers, offering a significant advantage over traditional surgery by preserving the organ, minimizing recovery time, and improving long-term quality of life for patients.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive, organ-preserving procedure.Allows for complete, single-piece (en bloc) removal of tumors for accurate pathology.Curative treatment for select early-stage gastrointestinal cancers.Lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time.No external incisions; performed entirely through a natural orifice (the mouth or rectum)./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Early-stage esophageal, gastric (stomach), or colorectal cancer confined to the superficial layers.
Large precancerous lesions (adenomas or dysplasia) in the stomach or colon that are not suitable for standard polypectomy.
Submucosal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract requiring diagnostic or therapeutic removal.
Lesions with features suggesting a high risk of containing cancer (e.g., large size, non-lifting sign).
As an alternative to major surgery for patients who are high-risk surgical candidates.

How to prepare

Comprehensive evaluation including endoscopy, biopsy, and imaging (EUS, CT scan) to confirm lesion suitability.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin) as advised by the doctor, typically 5-7 days prior.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure to ensure an empty stomach.
Bowel preparation with a prescribed laxative solution if the procedure is for the colon.
Pre-operative anesthesia assessment and discussion of medical history.
Arranging for transportation home post-procedure as sedation is used.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure, which may require endoscopic treatment.
Perforation (a tear or hole in the gastrointestinal wall), which is a serious but uncommon complication.
Infection at the treatment site.
Reactions to sedation, such as breathing difficulties or low blood pressure.
Stricture (narrowing) formation, especially after large esophageal or gastric resections.
Incomplete resection, which may require additional treatment or surgery.

Recovery & hospital stay

Observation in the hospital for 1-3 days to monitor for complications like bleeding or perforation.
A liquid diet initially, gradually advancing to soft foods over several days as tolerated.
Temporary dietary restrictions on spicy, rough, or hard foods to allow the wound to heal.
Avoidance of heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving for 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up endoscopy in 3-6 months to confirm complete healing and no recurrence.
Prompt reporting of severe abdominal pain, fever, black stools, or vomiting to the doctor.

Typical hospital stay: 2-3 days
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for normal activities, 4-6 weeks for complete internal healing
