A strategy combining endoscopic hand-suturing with clips for closure of rectal defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection with or without myectomy (with video)

Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) has been preliminarily demonstrated to be effective in closing defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but it is not easily performed. We proposed a strategy combining EHS with clips (EHS-Clips) and explored its effectiveness in closing rectal defects after ESD or ESD with myectomy (ESD-ME).
