Retrospective study of technical aspects and complications of endoscopic submucosal dissection for laterally spreading tumors of the colorectum

ESD was an effective treatment method for both LST-NG and LST-G. However, the degree of technical difficulty appears higher for LST-NG than for LST-G lesions, as shown by the lower dissection speed and higher perforation rate. ESD for LST-NG should probably be performed by those with significant experience of colorectal ESD.
