Endoscopic aspiration mucosectomy as curative endoscopic surgery: Analysis of 24 cases of early gastric cancer☆,☆☆,★
Section snippets
PATIENTS AND METHODS
From August 1992 through October 1993, we used EAM in 24 patients with early gastric cancer or adenoma, including 11 early gastric cancers and 15 adenomas. Five lesions were located in the upper third of the stomach, 9 in the middle third, and 12 in the lower third. Twelve patients were men and 12 were women. The mean age was 68 ± 9 years. We explained the method, its effectiveness, and the possibility of complications to the patients, and obtained their consent.

Today there are various kinds of EMR available in Japan.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 Strip biopsy is by far the most popular

2013, Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :After the lesion looks similar to a snared polypoid lesion, blend electrosurgical current is typically used to resect the lesion. The EAM hood uses a conventional hood (Create Medic; Yokohama, Japan) and this method is similar to EMRC.3,4 The endoscopist inserts the crescent-shaped snare through the accessory channel tube of the EAM hood and opens this snare around the lesion.

2008, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :May et al17 compared EMRC and EMR with ligation18 and found similar results for the maximum size and calculated area of the resected specimens in a randomized study. Tanabe et al16 compared a 2-channel EMR with a modified EMRC method (endoscopic aspiration mucosectomy method19) in esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas of various sizes and found no significant difference in the en bloc resection rates. However, the resected specimen size was larger in the modified EMRC method.
