Abstract
Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using the pocket-creation method (PCM) has been developed as a kind of third space endoscopy. PCM enables complete dissection under the lesion before making the circumferential incision [1]. Using this method, a wide submucosal space should be created with a small entrance where a small-diameter endoscope is more desirable.
