Traction-preclosure-assisted vs conventional endoscopic full-thickness resection for gastric subepithelial tumors: Safety, efficacy in a retrospective cohort (with video)

Figure 2 Traction-preclosure-endoscopic full-thickness resection technique. A: Subepithelial tumor located on the posterior wall of the upper stomach; B: Clip-with-line traction applied upward to enhance tumor exposure and facilitate full-thickness resection; C and D: Upward traction linearizes the defect, allowing pre-closure before complete tumor removal; E: Additional clips used for reliable defect closure; F: Resected specimen confirming en bloc resection. 1: Indicates the tumor.
