Abstract
Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection is effective and safe for large SMTs in the esophagus and esophagogastric junction. This procedure has the advantage of being more minimally invasive with a shorter procedure time and hospital stay compared with TE. Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection for tumors with a transverse diameter â¥3.5 cm and an irregular shape is associated with relatively high risk for piecemeal resection, adverse events, and technical difficulties.
