Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Colorectal Neoplasia
The key advantage of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a high en bloc resection rate in large lesions over 2 cm in diameter. Accordingly, local recurrence is rare.

The International Digestive Endoscopy Network, which is held every June, is representative of the KSGE’s educational activity and has drawn great acclaim. The world-class expertise and fame of our Korean endoscopists as well as the enthusiastic responses from the teaching field have encouraged Korean endoscopists to publish our o
