Multitraction with rubber bands and surgical silk as a method to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Aug;115(8):457-458. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8932/2022.

Abstract

We propose this variant of the clip technique as a method that assist traction during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD): traction on the mucosa plane using an hemoclip carrying a surgical silk and three rubber bands, before the incision, to allow easier access to the submucosa space. We propose this variant with the intention of facilitating access to ESD quickly and safely for beginners.
