Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this prospective study at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center is to investigate the the efficacy and safety of using the novel TTS helix tack suture device as a dynamic traction device during colon and gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The investigators of this study hypothesize that a dynamic traction during ESD can be less traumatic than with other traction devices.
