Efficacy and safety of multi-loop traction device-assisted colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: Multicenter randomized clinical trial. Endosc Int Open 2025; 13:a24660718. [PMID: 40230571 PMCID: PMC11996020 DOI: 10.1055/a-2466-0718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 11/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2025] Open
Abstract
Background and study aims The multi-loop traction device (MLTD) facilitates optimal visualization of the submucosa throughout endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of MLTD for colorectal ESD. Patients and methods We conducted a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial involving patients with colorectal lesions ≥ 20 mm suspicious for noninvasive carcinoma. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to undergo ESD with MLTD (MLTD-ESD group) or ESD without any traction device (control group). Endoscopists were allowed to convert treatments if dissection became challenging for 10 minutes. The primary endpoint was dissection speed; secondary endpoints included technical success rate and adverse events (AEs). Results A total of 108 participants were randomized to the MLTD-ESD group (n = 53) and the control group (n = 55). There was no statistically significant difference in median dissection speed between the MLTD-ESD group and the control group (14.8 mm 2 /min; interquartile range [IQR] 8.9-23.9 mm 2 /min vs. 13.3 mm 2 /min; IQR 8.9-18.8 mm 2 /min) ( P = 0.33). The technical success rate was significantly higher in the MLTD-ESD group (96.2%) compared with the control group (71.0%) ( P < 0.0001). All technical failures were due to treatment conversions. No significant difference was observed in AEs. Subgroup analysis revealed that experts in the MLTD-ESD group had faster dissection speed than controls (21.6 mm2/min; IQR 15.5-28.8 mm 2 /min vs. 14.4 mm 2 /min; IQR 9.9-21.2 mm 2 /min) ( P = 0.009). Conclusions This multicenter randomized trial demonstrated that use of MLTD did not significantly increase dissection speed for colorectal ESD. Treatment conversions may have influenced the primary endpoint, and further investigation is warranted.

World J Gastrointest Endosc 2023; 15:658-665. [DOI: 10.4253/wjge.v15.i11.658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) has high morbidity and mortality. Moreover, because GC has no typical symptoms in the early stages, most cases are already in the advanced stages by the time the symptoms appear, thus resulting in poor prognosis and a low survival rate. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can realize the early detection and diagnosis of GC and become the main surgical method for early GC. However, ESD has a steep learning curve and high technical skill requirements for endoscopists, which is not conducive to its widespread implementation and advancement. Therefore, a series of auxiliary techniques have been derived.
AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of magnetic anchor technique (MAT)-assisted ESD in early GC.
METHODS This was an ex vivo animal experiment. The experimental models were the isolated stomachs of pigs, which were divided into two groups, namely the study group (n = 6) with MAT-assisted ESD and the control group (n = 6) with traditional ESD. Comparing the total surgical time, incidence of surgical complications, complete mucosal resection rate, specimen size, and the scores of endoscopist’s satisfaction with the procedure reflected their feelings about convenience during the surgical procedure between the two groups. The magnetic anchor device for auxiliary ESD in the study group comprised three parts, an anchor magnet (AM), a target magnet (TM), and a soft tissue clip. Under gastroscopic guidance, the soft tissue clip and the TM were delivered to the pre-marked mucosal lesion through the gastroscopic operating hole. The soft tissue clip and the TM were connected by a thin wire through the TM tail structure. The soft tissue clip was released by manipulating the operating handle of the soft tissue clip in a way that the soft tissue clip and the TM were fixed to the lesion mucosa. In vitro, ESD is aided by maneuvering the AM such that the mucosal dissection surface is exposed.
RESULTS The total surgical time was shorter in the study group than in the control group (26.57 ± 0.19 vs 29.97 ± 0.28, P < 0.001), and the scores of endoscopist’s satisfaction with the procedure were higher in the study group than in the control group (9.53 ± 0.10 vs 8.00 ± 0.22, P < 0.001). During the operation in the study group, there was no detachment of the soft tissue clip and TM and no mucosal tearing. The magnetic force between the AM and TM provided good mucosal exposure and sufficient tissue tension for ESD. The mucosal lesion was completely peeled off, and the operation was successful. There were no significant differences in the incidence of surgical complications (100% vs 83.3%), complete mucosal resection rate (100% vs 66.7%, P = 0.439), and specimen size (2.44 ± 0.04 cm vs 2.49 ± 0.02, P = 0.328) between the two groups.
CONCLUSION MAT-ESD is safe and effective for early GC. It provides a preliminary basis for subsequent internal animal experiments and clinical research.

Abstract
Background and study aims A single-operator, articulating, through-the-scope (TTS) traction device was recently developed to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Clinical data on the performance of this device are limited. We report an initial multicenter experience with ESD using this articulating TTS traction device. Patients and methods Retrospective analysis on all consecutive patients who underwent ESD using this traction device (T-ESD) at five centers between August 2021 and December 2022. Endpoints included: rates of en-bloc resection, R0 resection, curative resection, and adverse events. Results Thirty-six patients (median age 64.8 years; 47.2% women) underwent ESD (median lesion size 40 mm; interquartile range [IRQ]: 27.5-67.5) for lesions in the esophagus (n=2), stomach (n=8), sigmoid colon (n=6), and rectum (n=20). Submucosal fibrosis was encountered in one-third of the lesions (33.3%). Median ESD time was 104.6 minutes (IQR: 65-122). En-bloc, R0 and curative resection were achieved in 94.4%, 91.6%, and 97.2%, respectively. The single patient with non-curative resection of an invasive rectal adenocarcinoma underwent surgery. There were no cases of delayed bleeding or perforation. There was no recurrence on surveillance endoscopy (n=20) at a median of 6 months (IQR: 3.75-6). Conclusions This initial multicenter experience demonstrates high resection rates and excellent safety profile when performing ESD with this novel articulating TTS device. Dynamic real-time traction may lower the technical difficulty of ESD. Additional studies are needed to assess its cost-effectiveness and compare its usefulness with other traction devices and techniques during ESD.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training in Japan is pursued through a designated master-apprentice, organ-based stepwise training model. However, applying a similar program to the United States is not a practical strategy due to the significant differences in the training system and disease prevalence. To incorporate the ESD training into the current advanced endoscopy fellowship program, the use of recently developed techniques and technologies to improve the efficiency of ESD is ideal. The ESD training program in the United States should be prevalence-based, with increased involvement of trainees depending on their objectively assessed competency levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among all types of superficial gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms, colorectal lesions are recognized as one of the most difficult locations to operate, due to the limited operation space, physiological bends, poor visualization of the submucosal dissection plane sheltered by colorectal crinkle wall, and the thin intestinal mucosa layer which is easy to perforation. The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a novel endoscopic traction technique in assisting the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedure in colorectal lesions. METHOD A total of 117 patients with colonic lesions who underwent endoscopic treatment were enrolled between August 2020 and January 2021 at the endoscopic center of Beijing Chao-yang Hospital of Capital Medical University. Based on whether traction device was used during the operation, 60 and 57 patients were assigned to the conventional ESD group and clips and rubber band triangle traction-assisted ESD group (CRT-ESD, in which three clips and a rubber band were used to form an elastic triangular traction device), respectively. The total procedure time (TPT), submucosal dissection time (SDT), submucosal dissection speed (SDS), and rate of adverse events of the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS After excluding patients who did not undergo treatment (conventional ESD, 1; CRT-ESD, 4), 112 patients were included in the study (conventional ESD, 59; CRT-ESD, 53). The baseline characteristics of the patients were well balanced between the two groups. The TPT (58.71 ± 26.22 min vs 33.58 ± 9.88 min, p < 0.001) and SDT (49.24 ± 23.75 min vs 26.34 ± 8.75 min, p < 0.001) were significantly different between the conventional ESD group and CRT-ESD group. The CRT-ESD group had significantly higher SDS than that of the traditional ESD group (0.54 ± 0.42 cm2/min vs 0.89 ± 0.40 cm2/min, p < 0.001). There were 4 (6.8%) cases of perforation in the traditional ESD group, and no perforation occurred in traction-assisted ESD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with traditional ESD, CRT-ESD with clip and rubber band is both safer and more effective in the treatment of colorectal lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a method that can be used for en bloc resection, regardless of the size and form of the lesion. The special location of ileocecal tumors leads to insufficient counter-traction and poor field of vision, making ESD difficult. An S-O clip has been developed to simplify the attachment procedure, eliminating interference with the endoscope and improving accessibility. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 70-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and bloating. A colonoscopy revealed a flat-elevated-type lesion on the ileocecal valve, with the oral side of the lesion having progressed to the terminal ileum. The traction direction was adjusted from distal to proximal during the procedure using the S-O clip. Finally, with the help of the S-O clip, the tumor was safely removed and collected. CONCLUSION The S-O clip was successful in ESD of a colorectal tumor. By removing and re-anchoring the loaded ring, the S-O clips allowed the adjustment of traction direction from distal to proximal during ESD.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed as a treatment for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms, which can achieve en bloc resection regardless of the lesion size. However, ESD is technically difficult because endoscopists cannot bring their hand into the gastrointestinal tract, unlike surgeons in regular surgery. It is difficult to obtain sufficient tension in the dissection plane and a good field of vision. Therefore, ESD is associated with a long procedure time and a high risk of adverse events in comparison with endoscopic mucosal resection. Traction methods have been developed to provide sufficient tension for the dissection plane and a good field of vision during the ESD procedure. However, traction direction is limited in most traction methods, resulting in insufficient effect in some cases. Although traction direction is considered important, there have been few investigations of its effect. In the first half of this review, important traction methods are discussed, including traction direction. In second half, appropriate traction methods for each organ are considered. Other important considerations for traction method, such as ability to adjust traction strength, interference between traction device and endoscope, and the need for specialized devices are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has developed different methods, such as pocket method (P-ESD), traction-assisted method (T-ESD), and hybrid method (H-ESD). In this meta-analysis, the benefits and drawbacks of different ESD methods were discussed and ranked. STUDY DESIGN Studies comparing different methods of colorectal ESD were searched by using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. The study was conducted for five endpoints: en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, operation time, dissection speed, and adverse events rate. Pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed through Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 16.0. The quality of all included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria, including 7 RCTs and 19 non-RCTs, with a total of 3,002 patients. The pooled analysis showed that the en bloc resection rate of H-ESD was significantly lower than that of C-ESD, P-ESD, and T-ESD (RR = 0.28, 95% CI [0.12, 0.65]; RR = 0.11, 95% CI [0.03, 0.44]; RR = 8.28, 95% CI [2.50, 27.42]). Compared with C-ESD, the operation time of H-ESD and T-ESD was significantly shorter (MD = -21.83, 95% CI [-34.76, -8.90]; MD = -23.8, 95% CI [-32.55, -15.06]). Meanwhile, the operation time of T-ESD was also significantly shorter than that of P-ESD (MD = -18.74, 95% CI [-31.93, -5.54]). The dissection speed of T-ESD was significantly faster than that of C-ESD (MD = 6.26, 95% CI [2.29, 10.23]). CONCLUSION P-ESD and T-ESD are probably the two best methods of colorectal ESD at present. The advantages of P-ESD are high en bloc resection rate and low incidence of adverse events. The advantages of T-ESD are rapid dissection and short operation time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection (C-ESD) is a technically demanding procedure with prolonged procedure times and higher risk of adverse events. To overcome the procedural difficulty of ESD, several traction-assisted techniques (T-ESD) have been developed to improve visualization of the submucosa in hopes to facilitate safe and effective dissection. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis that compares short-term outcomes (30-day) of T-ESD to C-ESD. METHODS Clinical studies published up to April 2020 comparing the efficacy and safety of T-ESD and C-ESD were identified using electronic bibliographic searches. Both randomized controlled trials and observational studies were included. Outcomes of interests were procedure time, rates of en bloc and R0 resection, and rates of adverse events. Fixed effect and random effect model were used to calculate pooled mean difference for continuous variables and risk differences (RDs) for categorical variables. RESULTS Twenty-three studies with 2574 patients were included in this meta-analysis, with a total of 2582 lesions (1292 T-ESD and 1290 C-ESD). Pooled estimates of T-ESD showed shorter procedure times (weighted mean difference = -20.35 min, 95% CI -27.51 to -13.19, p < 0.001), higher R0 resection rates (RD 0.04, 95% CI 0.01-0.06, p = 0.004) and lower perforation rates (RD -0.03, 95% CI -0.04 to -0.01, p = < 0.0001). No significant differences were seen in en bloc rates and bleeding risk between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Traction-assisted ESD results in shorter procedure time, improved R0 resection rates and lower risk of perforation as compared to conventional ESD.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of the current approach to tissue traction during the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of superficial esophageal cancer, early gastric cancer, and colorectal neoplasms. We performed a systematic electronic literature search of articles published in PubMed and selected comparative studies to investigate the treatment outcomes of tractionassisted versus conventional ESD. Using the keywords, we retrieved 381 articles, including five eligible articles on the esophagus, 13 on the stomach, and 12 on the colorectum. A total of seven randomized controlled trials and 23 retrospective studies were identified. Clip line traction and submucosal tunneling were effective in reducing the procedural time during esophageal ESD. The efficacy of traction methods in gastric ESD varied in terms of the devices and strategies used depending on the lesion location and degree of submucosal fibrosis. Several prospective and retrospective studies utilized traction devices without the need to reinsert the colonoscope. When pocket creation is included, the traction devices and methods effectively shorten the procedural time during colorectal ESD. Although the efficacy is dependent on the organ and tumor locations, several traction techniques have been demonstrated to be efficacious in facilitating ESD by maintaining satisfactory traction during dissection.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was developed in 2000s to overcome the limitations of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), especially to accomplish en-bloc resection, and it has been accepted worldwide in the past decades. Many ESD devices and diagnosis modalities are currently available, which include pit pattern and narrow band imaging (NBI) diagnoses to evaluate the depth of the tumor preoperatively with sensitivities of 70 to 90%. Depending on the Japanese colorectal guideline, the intramucosal cancer and shallow invasion of the submucosal layer are the main good indications of ESD; however, the ESD practices between Japan and Western countries still vary, including pathologic definition of cancer, tumor/node/metastasis classification, and handling of ESD specimen. In the United States, despite the large demand for treatment of colorectal neoplasm, pit pattern and magnified NBI diagnoses are not widely accepted yet, and piecemeal EMR is still the major method in most of the institutions. Moreover, the specific guideline of ESD is also not available yet. More new technologies are being developed other than conventional ESD methods in Eastern and Western countries, and ESD is now expected to change in the next generation. It is recommended that not only gastroenterologists but also colorectal surgeons have appropriate knowledge of colorectal lesions and their management to ensure current treatments is applied to patients.

Comparison of dissection speed during colorectal ESD between the novel Multiloop (M-loop) traction method and ESD methods without traction. Endosc Int Open 2020; 8:E840-E847. [PMID: 32617388 PMCID: PMC7297616 DOI: 10.1055/a-1161-8596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2019] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and study aims We previously reported on a novel traction method called Multiloop (M-loop) for faster colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In this study, we retrospectively compared the difference in submucosal dissection time (SDT), and submucosal dissection speed (SDS) between groups of patients who were treated using traction with the M-loop method, and with non-traction methods of colorectal ESD. Patients and methods We reviewed and timed duration of colorectal ESD by the non-traction method from videos recorded between June 2016 and December 2017. From January 2018 onward, we used the M-loop method during all colorectal ESDs and timed it until August 2018. Outcomes of colorectal ESD with the M-loop method and non-traction methods were compared. The study involved two experts and eight non-experts and was carried out at a tertiary endoscopic center in Japan. Results The study included 50 patients who treated with the M-loop method and 115 patients treated with the non-traction method. Submucosal dissection time (SDT) was not significantly different (M-loop group, 42.1 ± 4.2 min, non-traction ESD group, 51.9 ± 3.3 min) ( P = 0.098), but submucosal dissection speed (SDS) was significantly greater (M-loop group, 28.0 ± 2.9 mm 2 /min, non-traction ESD group, 19.9 ± 2.0 mm 2 /min) ( P = 0.0014) in the M-loop method group. Multivariate analysis showed that the M-loop method increased SDS by odds ratio of 1.46 ( P = 0.001) when compared to the non-traction ESD method. A significant difference was also observed for SDT and SDS when the two methods were compared after propensity score matching ( P = 0.001). No differences in unfavorable outcomes were observed. Conclusions The M-loop method improved SDS compared to non-traction methods of ESD. The method is an effective tool to assist colorectal ESD.

Abstract
Background and study aims In colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), the S-O clip improves the accessibility to the submucosal layer of the colon. However, its safety and usefulness in difficult colorectal ESDs are unclear. Thus, in this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of the S-O clip in colorectal ESD in the difficult-to-access submucosal layer. Patients and methods From January 2016 to December 2016, 189 consecutive cases of colorectal ESD were performed at Hiroshima University Hospital before the S-O clip was introduced. Between January 2017 and June 2018, among 271 consecutive colorectal ESD cases, 41 cases were performed colorectal ESD using the S-O clip. We compared outcomes between the two groups (41 cases with S-O clip [use group] and 189 cases without S-O clip [non-use group]) using propensity score matching. Results Prior to propensity score matching, 41 cases with the S-O clip (use group) and 189 cases without the S-O clip (non-use group) were extracted. The degree of submucosal fibrosis was more severe and the procedure time was longer in the use group than in the non-use group. In the use and non-use groups, en bloc resection (100 % vs. 94.7 %) and complete en bloc resection (100 % vs. 92.6 %) rates were satisfactory. After propensity score matching, 33 cases in each group were extracted. As a result, complete en bloc resection rate was significantly higher in the use group than in the non-use group (100 % vs. 84.9 %). Conclusion The S-O clip is effective and can be used safely in colorectal ESD in the difficult-to-access submucosal layer.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a well-established method for the treatment of early-stage gastrointestinal neoplasms. Adequate submucosal exposure is one of the most significant factors related to an effective and safe dissection. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effcacy and safety of various methods that assist traction during ESD of precancerous and earlystage neoplastic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. We performed an electronic search of the MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases for relevant studies published up to May 2019. Trials exclusively recruiting patients undergoing ESD for superficial gastrointestinal cancer were considered eligible for inclusion. Thirty-three articles including 3,134 patients met the inclusion criteria. The studies evaluated different approaches for widening the endoscopic view, including magnetic anchor-guided ESD (3 studies), use of a second endoscope (5 studies), clip-involving technique (21 studies), and miscellaneous methods (4 studies). Among them, only 6 were randomized controlled trials evaluating different approaches. Overall, the implementation of methods that assist traction during ESD significantly improved the operating time and R0 resection rate and decreased the rate of complications (bleeding and perforation). Interventions that assist traction seem effcacious in improving tissue traction, thus facilitating ESD performance.

Successful traction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection using dental floss and a clip for a huge superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumor with severe fibrosis (with video). JGH OPEN 2018; 3:179-181.

Abstract
Recently, traction‐assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a clip and thread was reported as useful for treating lesions in the esophagus, stomach, and colorectum in terms of shortening the duration of the procedures and reducing the risk of intraoperative perforation. However, no traction method using the thread and clip for duodenal ESD as described in this article has been reported to date. We report a case in which traction‐assisted ESD using dental floss and a clip was successfully performed on a huge superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumor accompanied by severe fibrosis caused by preoperative biopsies. A 65‐year‐old woman had a 55‐mm flat‐elevated tumor in the second part of the duodenum. Severe fibrosis of the submucosal layer was expected due to repeated biopsies at the same site by the patient’s previous endoscopist. We selected ESD for this lesion, and the initial incision was started from the side proximal to the lesion, but it was difficult to insert the scope under the submucosal layer directly beneath the biopsy scar. Therefore, traction with an endoclip and dental floss was performed to lift the lesion. Excellent traction allowed safe resection of the fibrotic part under accurate visual observation. Finally, the lesion was resected en bloc without adverse events. Traction‐assisted ESD using dental floss and a clip is likely to be an effective adjunctive technique for quick, safe, and successful resection of lesions in the duodenum on which it is difficult to perform ordinary ESD and that have a high probability of intraoperative perforation and massive bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technically advanced procedure for colorectal tumors. Hayashi et al. invented the "pocket-creation method (PCM)," and reported that Is-type lesions with fibrosis could be efficaciously and safely resected. However, only case studies have been published, and there are no previous reports on the usefulness of PCM in colorectal ESD for all lesions, as compared with the conventional method. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PCM in colorectal ESD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-six colorectal tumors were treated: 47 using the PCM and the other 49, considered the control group, using the conventional method. Therapeutic effectiveness and safety were retrospectively assessed. RESULTS The comparison between the PCM and control groups revealed higher rates of en bloc resection (100 % vs. 88 %, P = 0.015) and curative endoscopic resection (100 % vs. 84 %, P = 0.0030) with PCM. There was no significant difference in perforation as an adverse event (AE) between the two groups, though perforation was observed in only 6 % of the control group and none of the PCM group. Compared with the control group, the PCM group had lower incidences of perforation and post-ESD coagulation syndrome, and both AEs were associated with excessive thermal denaturation of the muscle layer (2 % vs. 16 %, P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of ESD with PCM for colorectal tumors. Although there is a possible learning curve, PCM enables the endoscopist to safely perform ESD in most cases without encountering the difficulties associated with conventional ESD.

Abstract
Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is now a well-established endoscopic treatment for early-stage colorectal neoplasms, especially in Asian countries, including Japan. Despite the spread of colorectal ESD, there are still situations in which achieving successful submucosal dissection is difficult. Various novel techniques and devices have been developed to overcome these difficulties, and past reports have shown that some of these strategies can be applied to colorectal ESD. We review several recent developments in the field. The techniques reviewed include the pocket creation method and traction methods and the devices reviewed include the overtube with balloon and electrosurgical knives with water-jet function. These improved techniques and devices can facilitate safer, more reliable ESDs and expand its applicability and acceptability all over the world.

Abstract
Background Although several methods to create an effective counter traction for safer endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have been reported, these methods do not overcome problems regarding delivery and ease of use. This randomized prospective study assessed the usefulness of ring-shaped thread counter traction, which not only allowed the safer colorectal ESD but also the easiest and lower cost counter traction without any special devices. Methods Forty-five patients diagnosed with colorectal lateral spreading tumors over 20 mm were allocated to the conventional ESD group (CE) (n = 22) and the ring-shaped thread counter traction ESD group (RE) (n = 21). The ring-shaped thread was hooked and lifted up to the contralateral mucosa with a hemoclip. The primary outcome was the dissected area per minute during ESD (cm2/min) (UMIN000020160). Results There were significant differences in the dissection time (min), with 130.0 (56.0–240.0) versus 80 (35.0–130.0) min for the CE and RE groups, respectively (P = 0.001). For the dissected areas per minute (cm2/min), there was a significant difference, with 0.125 (0.1–0.18) versus 0.235 (0.16–0.36) min (P = 0.003) for the CE and RE groups, respectively. There were 1 cases of perforation during ESD in the CE compared to 0 for the RE, and this was no significantly different (P = 0.31). The procedure time of producing and setting the ring-shaped thread counter traction was approximately 1.80 (0.80–3.30) min only. Conclusions The ring-shaped thread counter traction is simple, effective, lower cost and does not require special devices to obtain repeated counter traction.

Abstract
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is problematic with regard to en bloc and curable resection rates. Advancements in endoscopic techniques have enabled novel endoscopic approaches such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), which has overcome some EMR problems, and has become the standard treatment for gastrointestinal tumors. However, ESD is technically difficult. Procedure time is longer and complications such as intraoperative perforation and bleeding occur more frequently than in EMR. Recently various traction methods have been introduced to facilitate ESD procedures, such as clip with line, external forceps, clip and snare, internal traction, double scope, and magnetic anchor. Each method must be used appropriately according to the anatomical characteristics. In this review we discuss recently proposed traction methods for ESD based on the characteristics of various anatomical sites.
