Secondary endoscopic submucosal dissection for locally recurrent or incompletely resected gastric neoplasms

Figure 1 Case of early salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection. A 52 year old female patient was diagnosed with a 6 cm early gastric cancer on the posterior wall of the lower body. The primary ESD procedure was performed, and en bloc resection was achieved. The pathology report indicated the positive lateral margin. Early salvage ESD was performed after histological confirmation of positive lateral margins of the initial ESD specimen. ESD: Endoscopic submucosal dissection.
