Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection of Synchronous Adenocarcinomas of the Distal Rectum

Abstract

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) with an innovative full-thickness resection device (FTRD; Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) allows a safe and complete full-thickness resection of early colorectal cancer. We present the first case of two EFTR performed at the same time to treat synchronous rectal adenocarcinomas.
