Endoscopic submucosal dissection of large leiomyoma of the esophagus with subsequent closure of the defect with a mucosal flap

Abstract

Taking into consideration the results of our clinical observation, we can argue that the technique of endoscopic submucosal dissection of large leiomyoma of the esophagus with subsequent closure of the defect with a mucosal flap is applicable in clinical practice. This method is relatively safe, allows to achieve complete, quality results of morphological study, helps to reduce the number of postoperative complications, compared to more invasive surgical interventions. Also it reduces the time of social recovery and contributes to preserving the quality of life after the treatment.
