Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection and barrett’s ESOPHAGUS - Results of the German ESD Registry

Aims In Europe, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is not yet the standard treatment for premalignant or early malignant lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI)-tract. High quality data is limited to single center studies. The German ESD registry was set up to evaluate and assess the technical success, curative resection rate, economic aspects as well as long term outcomes of ESD procedures performed in Germany. In this study, we present results of ESD procedures in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) from the German ESD registry.
