Magnetic Guided Counetrtraction During Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technique that allows curative treatment of early gastrointestinal neoplasia with organ preservation. However, it is a technically demanding procedure. Tissue traction plays a vital role in facilitating the visualization of the cutting line and the submucosal vessels, which usually only relies on the hood attached to the tip of the endoscope. However, when dealing with flat or large lesions, the absence of reliable traction in ESD contributes to its technical complexity and prolongs procedure duration. Various traction devices and techniques have been developed to provide tension for the dissection plane and optimal visibility during ESD. Most of these only provide static traction from a fixed angle, thus the effect of traction diminishes when the dissection continues. In contrast to the aforementioned traction methods, magnetic traction offer
