Complications of endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection

Mastering the techniques of endoscopic hemostasis and perforation closure are critical for any endoscopist venturing into the field of endoscopic mucosal resection and dissection. These techniques could be accomplished to some extent by watching educational videos on the subject and learning from experts by participating in the hands-on courses organized by the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. In addition, spending time in centers of excellence and learning from the experts, setting up a room fully furnished with all the necessary endoscopic accessories, and training endoscopic assistants in these procedures are critical for a successful outcome.
