title: Endoluminal full-thickness resection of GI lesions: a new device and technique.
abstract: Full-thickness resection techniques are of growing interest in the field of endoscopic removal of tumors or their precursors in the digestive tract. A new dedicated full-thickness resection device has been developed based on the combination of the OTSC clip, an enlarged resection cap and an integrated snare. The device prototype allows combined resection of all gastrointestinal organ wall layers in one maneuver, up to a size of 3 x 3 cm. The device has been pre-clinically tested to demonstrate feasibility of full-thickness resection in the colon. Two clinical cases have been performed successfully to date.
