Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection

Minimally invasive endoscopic resection procedures continue to evolve, with submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) being a durable option for en bloc resection of submucosal tumors. Whether STER can be effectively used for larger (>3.5 cm) lesions remains to be seen. STER-ET is a novel approach for removal of extraluminal tumors, but data are currently limited to support its use.
