Abstract
Sutureless, endoscopic transplantation of carrier-free cell sheets composed of autologous oral mucosal epithelial cells safely and effectively promotes re-epithelialization of the esophagus after ESD. Patients in this study did not experience any serious complications. This procedure might be used to prevent stricture formation following ESD and improve patients' quality of life. Further study will be needed to show that stricture formation can be prevented.
