Figure 4 Iatrogenic perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer in the greater curvature of the stomach. A: A post-endoscopic submucosal dissection ulcer was found in the greater curvature of the stomach. An examination by retroflex view revealed that the muscle layer was separated and perforated; B: The wound was successfully closed using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC). An upper endoscopy performed 2 mo after the closure revealed no displacement of the OTSC or complications, such as ulceration or deformation.
