Lesions at the appendiceal orifice – the Achillesʼ heel of endoscopic resection?
Arthur Schmidt
Abstract
Since the introduction of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) using the full-thickness resection device (FTRD), many studies have investigated the technique for its efficacy and safety in various indications. However, it is a matter of debate as to whether it should be used for endoscopic resection of lesions involving the appendiceal orifice.
